Family of Palestine Action prisoner on hunger strike say her health is deteriorating

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.
