Palestine Action activist Teuta Hoxha has paused her hunger strike in the United Kingdom after more than two months without food while demanding immediate bail and the right to a fair trial.

"For the past 63 days, Palestine Action members have been on hunger strikes in prisons around the UK after being jailed over alleged involvement in break-ins at the UK subsidiary of Elbit Systems in Filton near Bristol in 2024. Some members of Palestine Action are also being held for an alleged break-in at a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, where two military aircraft were sprayed with red paint. The prisoners deny the charges against them, which include burglary and violent disorder."
Teuta Hoxha, a 29-year-old Palestine Action activist, paused her hunger strike in the United Kingdom after more than two months without food while demanding immediate bail and a fair trial. Prisoners For Palestine says Hoxha is in serious condition, needs hospitalisation, and has been denied proper treatment by prison authorities. Hoxha requires urgent medical care to prevent refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition when nutrition is restarted too quickly. For 63 days, Palestine Action members have been on hunger strikes after being jailed over alleged break-ins at Elbit Systems' UK subsidiary and an alleged RAF base break-in. The prisoners deny charges including burglary and violent disorder. The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation in July, and more than 1,600 people have been arrested in connection with support and related protests.
