Two British activists linked to the Palestine Action (PA) group, Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed, are at "imminent risk of death" after reaching 67 and 60 days, respectively, without food on Thursday, according to medical professionals, family, and friends. In the UK, it is impossible not to compare this case to that of Bobby SandsThe most famous of the ten IRA political prisoners, who died during the Irish republicans' hunger strike in 1981. Sands prolonged the protest for 66 days, to the bitter end.
