Three detained pro-Palestinian activists end hunger strike

LONDON: Three pro-Palestinian activists detained in Britain ended their hunger strike ​on Wednesday, with some of them facing imminent death from the effects of their protest, campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said in a statement.
All ‌of the ‌hunger strikers ‌have ⁠been ​charged ‌with offenses allegedly carried out on behalf of Palestine Action, before the group was banned and designated a terrorist organization.
Two are in ⁠custody over alleged involvement in ‌a break-in at an ‍Israeli-linked ‍defense firm last year. ‍The other was one of several accused of breaching a military air base in ​central England and damaging two aircraft in protest against ⁠Britain’s support for Israel.
Palestine Action was banned in July, making it a crime to be a member. Thousands have since been arrested ‌for holding signs in support of the group.
