flag Eight pro-Palestinian activists, on hunger strike after over a year in pre-trial detention, face life-threatening health risks; Sinn Féin urges UK PM to act.

flag Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to intervene in the case of eight pro-Palestine activists on hunger strike, citing life-threatening health conditions after some were hospitalized. flag The protest, beginning in early November, stems from prolonged pre-trial detention—some held over a year without trial—following arrests linked to actions against Israeli-linked entities and military installations, including a 2024 break-in at a defense firm and a June incident at RAF Brize Norton involving alleged aircraft damage. flag Four face trial in May 2026 over the firm break-in; four others are charged over the RAF incident. flag McDonald emphasized the need for fair, timely trials and access to bail, calling for urgent government action to prevent a death and uphold democratic rights. flag The detainees deny all charges.
