Four activists remanded in prison are continuing with their hunger strikes, while four others have now ended their food refusal.

All of those involved are being held over alleged participation in Palestine Action protests.

The hunger strikers are demanding immediate bail, an end to the ban on Palestine Action, and the lifting of restrictions on their communications while in custody.

During the debate, family and friends of the hunger strikers discuss the current medical condition of the detainees and what their protest means for demonstrators — and for Britain’s democratic values.
