"Heba Muraisi, who refused food for 73 days, told Al Jazeera she is still suffering from neurological issues. My hair is still falling out in chunks, I can't walk long distances without needing to take a break. Physically and mentally, I'm still recovering. I'm still not there yet."
"Muraisi said she was physically assaulted to the point that the wind was thrown out of me, was regularly placed in solitary confinement, and had her keffiyeh confiscated so she instead used a pillowcase as a headscarf while praying."
Four activists who participated in a hunger strike while imprisoned are planning legal action against UK prisons for alleged medical neglect. They were released on bail after the High Court ruled the proscription of their group, Palestine Action, unlawful. One activist, Heba Muraisi, who endured 73 days without food, reported lasting neurological issues and mistreatment, including physical assault and solitary confinement. The activists aim to address the conditions they faced during their detention and the impact on their health.
