And yet still the government refuses to act to end the injustice and ensure the safety of those on hunger strike. Plainly, this is wrong.

I've written to David Lammy with other Green parliamentarians, and signed another letter alongside cross-party MPs, calling on him to act.

And I signed 2 Early Day Motions:

Screenshot of a letter dated 12 December 2025 from six Green MPs and peers to the Secretary of State for Justice, David Lammy MP. The letter raises concern about eight prisoners held on remand in connection with Palestine Action who are on hunger strike, citing prolonged pre-trial detention, health risks, and alleged mistreatment. It calls for clinical monitoring, review of remand and bail decisions, safeguards against misuse of counter-terror powers, and a meeting with the prisoners’ families. Screenshot of a letter to Justice Secretary David Lammy, dated 15 December 2025, urging an immediate meeting with lawyers representing eight prisoners on hunger strike. It warns their health is rapidly deteriorating, lists serious medical symptoms and hospitalisations, criticises government inaction, and calls for urgent intervention to prevent a catastrophe. Screenshot of a UK Parliament Early Day Motion titled “Palestine Action hunger strike,” EDM 2386, tabled on 1 December 2025. The motion has been signed by 66 MPs and expresses concern that six prisoners associated with Palestine Action have begun a hunger strike, calling on the Secretary of State for Justice to intervene urgently to ensure humane treatment and uphold their human rights. Screenshot of a UK Parliament Early Day Motion titled “Hunger strike by pro-Palestinian activists,” EDM 2573, tabled on 7 January 2026. The motion has been signed by 34 MPs and includes text urging the Secretary of State for Justice to engage urgently with lawyers representing imprisoned pro-Palestinian activists on hunger strike, warning of serious deterioration in their health and risk to life.
