八名亲巴勒斯坦积极分子在审前拘留一年多后进行绝食,面临危及生命的健康风险;新芬党敦促英国首相采取行动。 Eight pro-Palestinian activists, on hunger strike after over a year in pre-trial detention, face life-threatening health risks; Sinn Féin urges UK PM to act.

新芬党领袖玛丽·卢·麦克唐纳(Mary Lou McDonald)敦促英国首相基尔·斯塔默(Keir Starmer)介入八名亲巴勒斯坦活动分子绝食案, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to intervene in the case of eight pro-Palestine activists on hunger strike, citing life-threatening health conditions after some were hospitalized. 抗议始于11月初,起因是审判前长期拘留——有些人未经审判被拘留了一年多——在逮捕与针对与以色列有联系的实体和军事设施的行动有关的人员后发生,包括2024年闯入一家辩护公司和6月在RAF Brize Norton发生的一起事件,据称涉及飞机损坏。 The protest, beginning in early November, stems from prolonged pre-trial detention—some held over a year without trial—following arrests linked to actions against Israeli-linked entities and military installations, including a 2024 break-in at a defense firm and a June incident at RAF Brize Norton involving alleged aircraft damage. 2026年5月,4人因公司闯入而面临审判;另外4人因RAF事件被起诉。 Four face trial in May 2026 over the firm break-in; four others are charged over the RAF incident. McDonald强调有必要进行公正、及时的审判和获得保释,呼吁政府采取紧急行动,防止死亡和维护民主权利。 McDonald emphasized the need for fair, timely trials and access to bail, calling for urgent government action to prevent a death and uphold democratic rights. 这些被拘留者否认所有指控。 The detainees deny all charges.
