A large peaceful protest was held outside of HMP Peterborough on Sunday (August 31) in support of Pro-Palestinian activist Tueta Hoxha.
Hoxha, who is being held at HMP Peterborough has been on Hunger strike for over 21 days now.
She has been at HMP Peterborough since November 2024 and is awaiting trial for taking part in an alleged break-in at the facility of Israeli-owned defence firm Elbit Systems in South Gloucestershire in August 2024.

He called the prison today and reminded them of their duty of care and demanded an independent medical assessment, warning that her health is at serious risk.

“Ms Hoxha has not, as far as we are aware, received the necessary daily clinical monitoring required for patients refusing food and is at risk of sudden electrolyte disturbance, hypoglycaemia and cardiac arrest,” the letter said.
“After speaking with family, our understanding is that Ms Hoxha had low blood sugar, at around 2.7, for significant periods of time yesterday. This constitutes a medical emergency.
“Given that Ms Hoxha’s hunger strike is now at a critical stage, we must therefore insist that NHS England exercises its commissioning oversight.”
Calling for these rights to be reinstated, T has been on hunger strike since 11 August but disturbingly says:
I was told by officers that being on hunger strike is not worth it because the prison doesn’t care what happens to you. This is something I believe to be true, as it took eight days before a nurse came to see me.
This delay meant T was left without essential medical supervision during that critical period. When finally examined by a doctor, her symptoms such as weakness, tingling in her limbs, and a rash were noted, but neither the prison nor the medical staff have made any effort to protect her from potential long-term health damage. Instead, she has repeatedly been pressured to sign a waiver that would release them from any responsibility if her condition worsens or if anything happens to her. T continues refusing to sign this form.
The 29-year-old prisoner, named “T Hoxha”, is one of the „Filton 24“ – activists from the now-proscribed direct action group Palestine Action who were arrested on terrorism charges.
Those charges were in connection with an action in August 2024, when six activists drove a modified van into the research and development hub of UK-based Israeli arms company, Elbit Systems, in Filton, Bristol.
Hoxha has been on remand since November 2024, awaiting her trial which will start in April 2026.
She launched her hunger strike at HMP Peterborough 22 days ago over the prison’s suspension of her recreational activities, her removal from her job at the prison library, and the withholding of her mail.
