British empire’s legalised lawlessness: Inventing laws to fit purpose, to silence, and to criminalise

The hunger strikers held today in British prisons are imprisoned on remand, without trial and without conviction.

British Police detained on one single day over 900 peaceful pro-Palestine protesters and has repeated this pattern weekly.

Palestine Action detainees have been on hunger strike for weeks.

The UK government has chosen prolonged remand, isolation and their censorship. It has chosen to restrict their contact with loved ones, allow medical neglect, and deployed the language of terror in an insidious attempt to deliberately strip these prisoners of public sympathy and basic rights before any trial takes place. The hunger strikers held today in British prisons: Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Lewie Chiaramello, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. They are imprisoned on remand, without trial and without conviction. For some, their remand has lasted over a year, and for most, they will not see trial for two.
