Palestine Action activist could die within days' after starting new thirst strike
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The group confirmed Mr Khalid has asked prison staff not to intervene if he falls unconscious. In comments supplied by Prisoners for Palestine, Dr Rupa Marya said: With no fluid intake, typically people die of acute kidney failure and other derangements within 3 to 4 days. With Umer Khalid's underlying health condition, he is at increased risk of death even sooner."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and solicits donations to fund reporters while keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet highlights investigations such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentary work like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A Palestine Action activist, Muhammed Umer Khalid, resumed a hunger strike and escalated to a thirst strike and now faces imminent death. Khalid has limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and has asked prison staff not to intervene if he falls unconscious. Medical commentary warns death can occur within three to four days without fluids and sooner given his condition.
