"Wormwood Scrubs prison informed her on January 28 that he had been hospitalised again and was being monitored. But Khalid's mother told Al Jazeera that prison authorities are not forthcoming with further information about his condition or level of care, despite her repeated calls and emails.

"Umer Khalid, 22, last spoke to his mother, Shabana, by phone on January 26. He had been rushed to intensive care a day earlier with a dangerously slow heart rate and organ failure. Soon after, he ended his 17-day hunger strike protest. She said that when they last spoke, Khalid sounded tired and complained of a dry mouth; towards the end of his hunger strike, he had also been refusing liquids in an escalation of his protest."
"Khalid is among five activists accused of breaking into the UK's largest airbase, RAF Brize Norton, in Oxfordshire, last June and spray-painting two Voyager refuelling and transport planes. The activists all deny the charges against them of damaging property and entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK's safety. The incident, which was claimed by Palestine Action, caused millions of pounds' worth of damage, accord"
