Jailed UK 'Filton 24' activist's hunger strike prompts US prisoners to join in solidarity
Monday, 01 September 2025 6:20 AM [ Last Update: Monday, 01 September 2025 6:20 AM ]
By Calla Mairead Walsh
After the first two to three days of a hunger strike, the body begins breaking down its own fat stores for energy, then its muscles, vital organs, and bone marrow, eating itself alive. By day ten, significant medical intervention is required.
As of September 1, 2025, 29-year-old British political prisoner Teuta Hoxha is on her 22nd day of hunger strike in HMP Peterborough, and she has yet to be hospitalized or receive adequate medical care.
Hoxha is one of 24 activists arrested in connection with Palestine Action’s raid on an Elbit Systems factory in Filton, Gloucestershire, in August last year.
One of the 'Filton 24' detained indefinitely under the UK's "Terrorism Act" while awaiting trial next spring, Hoxha is accused of participating in the heroic dismantling of an Elbit Systems weapons factory, which reportedly caused the Israeli arms manufacturing giant €1 million in damages.
The 'Filton 24' have experienced what can only be described as torture at the hands of the state — violent raids, sleep deprivation, solitary confinement in special counter-terrorism units, revocation of basic rights.
Hoxha's 17-year-old sister said the prison's unfair treatment of her greatly intensified after the UK's illegitimate proscription of Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group.
Hoxha was moved from HMP Bronzefield to HMP Peterborough, a for-profit prison run by the private company Sodexo, on the day MPs voted for proscription.
At least 75 medical professionals recently sent a letter to National Health Service (NHS) England and the prison authorities, warning that she is at risk of cardiac arrest.
Hoxha's loved ones report that the prison is medically neglecting her as her physical and mental health quickly deteriorates — her hair is falling out, her skin is discolored, and her last check-up showed "dangerously low blood sugar, elevated ketone levels, low blood pressure, a high pulse rate, and low oxygen levels."
https://twitter.com/PressTV/status/1956995993167434090?t=uA2GABD-HEW6ZzvG0TW6HQ&s=19
Supporters on the outside are organizing an urgent campaign to call and email the prison administration, demanding they give Hoxha electrolyte sachets and meet the demands of her strike: the reinstatement of her job in the prison library and the delivery of her mail that the prison administration is withholding from her.
As of 30 August, supporters reported that the pressure was working: all of Hoxha's demands had been met, except for written confirmation of the reinstatement of her job, so the strike continues.
A friend told The Observer on Hoxha's condition, “She looks a lot thinner...I think she now realizes that they actually don’t care whether she lives or dies, so she’s not going to give up until they respond to the demands.” As Irish hunger striker Dolours Price said, “He who blinks first is lost."
Hoxha is not alone, though. When 35-year-old Casey Goonan, the only political prisoner in the US of the 2024 student intifada, heard about Hoxha on 26 August, he decided to join her strike until her demands are met.
Casey's cellmate in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, California, also joined. As a diabetic, refusing to take in food is especially risky for Casey, but they have organized successful collective hunger strikes in the past, and they believe that "solidarity is actions, not words."
To announce their strike, Goonan published a statement saying, "The Palestine solidarity movement in the West cannot abandon people like [Hoxha] who have risked their lives and continue to do so in resistance to this intolerable condition of genocide...Solidarity with T. Hoxha and all prisoners of the Palestine solidarity movement! RAZE THE WALLS! LIBERATE ALL PRISONERS OF SETTLER EMPIRE!"
Goonan is facing up to 20 years in federal prison with "terrorism enhancement" for allegedly burning police vehicles at the University of California, Berkeley.
Like the weaponization of counter-terrorism lawfare in the UK cases, this "terrorism enhancement" addition to Goonan’s charges gives the federal government far more room for abuse and draconian overreach in their sentencing and treatment of Casey.
https://twitter.com/PressTV/status/1956633659290599652?t=Am2eYqoQ4jZt80qSWj-m3g&s=19
Like Hoxha, Goonan has been repeatedly targeted for the political nature of his alleged crime and deliberately isolated from other inmates. Just this summer, he and others like him were retaliated against for filing a grievance, and had their phone calls, visitations, and commissary revoked for over a month.
Several times, the state has pushed back the date of Goonan's sentencing hearing, which was supposed to take place in April but is now set for September 23, 2025.
Meanwhile, every week, supporters gather outside HMP Peterborough to demand the freedom of the 'Filton 24'. CAGE International just shared a solidarity message from Mansoor Adayfi, a former Guantánamo prisoner who spent years on a hunger strike and faced brutal force-feeding to protest his imprisonment and torture, who is now using his platform to advocate for Hoxha.
However, most organizations in the West have fallen completely silent about the ongoing hunger strike, part of their tendency to abandon those facing repression.
As New York-based Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani commented, "Teuta is now paying the price for real solidarity. And while many celebrate resistance in theory, too many turn their backs when activists like her face prison cells, repression, and starvation."
The prison is today and historically a key site of struggle, and the hunger strike is a key tactic there, as the Palestinian and Irish prisoner movements show us.
As Western governments' crackdown against anti-Zionist activism intensifies, the movement will have to fortify itself against repression and build support structures for the growing number of political prisoners, not only the 'Filton 24' and Goonan, but others facing heavy criminal charges in the US, such as Elias Rodriguez, Jakhi McCray, and Tarek Bazrouk as well.
To save Hoxha and Casey's lives, call and email HMP Peterborough to demand they meet all of Hoxha's demands. For the latest updates, instructions, and set of demands, go to instagram.com/prisoners4palestine and x.com/Workshops4Gaza.

Israeli genocide case 'strongest ever' brought before ICJ: Genocide scholar
Sunday, 31 August 2025 9:52 PM [ Last Update: Monday, 01 September 2025 2:33 AM ]
Coming from a family of Holocaust survivors, Professor William Schabas is one of the world’s foremost authorities on international criminal law and genocide studies, and a professor at Middlesex University.
Professor William Schabas, a preeminent authority on genocide and international criminal law, has said that the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza could lead to significant legal repercussions for Israel and its allies, notably the United States and Germany.
In a recent interview with the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Schabas described the situation as a crucial “litmus test” for the efficacy of international justice mechanisms.
Professor Schabas, a professor at Middlesex University and a descendant of Holocaust survivors, emphasized that the case initiated by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) could represent “the strongest case of genocide” ever presented before the tribunal.
He cited Israel's genocidal operations, alongside statements from senior officials—including former Israeli minister of military affairs, Yoav Gallant's remarks about cutting essential supplies to Gaza—as indicators of a potential genocidal intent.
“Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s portrayal of Gaza’s population as an existential threat intensifies the risk of incitement and atrocities,” Schabas remarked, cautioning that such populist rhetoric has historically fueled mass violence.
He warned that third-party nations, particularly those offering military support—including the US and Germany—might find themselves liable as “accomplices to genocide” under the Genocide Convention.
Reflecting on the complexities of the Gaza genocide, Schabas underscored that the ICJ's handling of the South Africa v. Israel case will not only affect the involved parties but will also set a precedent for the application of international law to powerful nations.
“The credibility of international institutions is on trial; failure to hold states accountable threatens to perpetuate a two-tier system of justice,” he stated.
At ICJ hearings, South Africa says Israel committing genocide with 'impunity'
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is holding its second day of hearings into the crimes of Israel and its obligation to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Professor Schabas further elaborated that there are legal obligations under the Genocide Convention for states to act against genocide, extending to nations that do not directly perpetrate violence but enable it through support or complicity.
“Countries like the US and Germany must recognize their potential liability, as their material assistance places them in violation of international law,” he warned.
He concluded that the genocide in Gaza offers a pivotal moment for international legal frameworks, emphasizing the need for robust responses from global institutions to prevent future atrocities.
If these institutions fail to act, Schabas argues, they risk damaging their own credibility and the wider effort to uphold human rights worldwide.
As the international community watches closely, Professor Schabas’s insights underscore a pressing urgency for accountability and justice amid the genocide in Gaza, raising critical questions about the role of powerful states in the prevention of genocide and the enforcement of international law.
660,000 Gaza children remain out of school amid Israeli genocide: UNRWA
UNRWA says 660,000 Gaza children are out of school for the third year in a row due to the Israeli genocidal war on n the besieged strip.
Israel has killed over 63,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The aggression has devastated the blockaded Palestinian region, which is facing famine.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the besieged Palestinian territory.

Palestine's UN ambassador invites Security Council to 'take 100 journalists' to 'verify what's happening' in Gaza© Palestine UN
When the United Nations Security Council met last Wednesday, it was an extraordinary moment. All members, bar the United States, declared that the famine in Gaza is a manmade catastrophe. In a rare show of unity, 14 out of 15 council members also called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, for the release of all Israeli hostages, and for the lifting of its restrictions on humanitarian aid.
It should have been a historic turning point. Instead, it was another painful reminder of how broken our global system is – that even when the world’s highest body for peace and security speaks with one voice, it remains powerless, because one country shields another from accountability.
For nearly two years, Gaza has been subjected to destruction on a scale that some historians and legal experts have described as “genocidal”. Entire families have been erased, hospitals bombed, children starved. And it continues not because the world lacks awareness or the legal tools, but because the international system is designed in such a way that morality is always subordinate to power.
The Security Council, with its five permanent members and their vetoes, is a relic of a post-Second World War world order that no longer reflects today’s reality. It was built to serve the interests of victors, not the collective interest of humanity. And so when atrocities occur, when the law is clear and the suffering undeniable, the council can still be silenced by the political calculations of one capital.

Gaza famine caused by Israel's obstruction of aid, says UN Aid Chief
0
View on Watch
Gaza is not the first example of this paralysis, but it is perhaps the clearest and most brutal. International law prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon, and yet the council cannot enforce it. International law demands the protection of civilians and hospitals, and yet the council cannot guarantee it.
Around the world, people have marched in their millions, governments have spoken out, and civil society has raised its voice again and again. Almost every state represented in the Security Council understands the urgency. And still, the paralysis remains.
It reveals a bitter truth: the global order is not built to serve justice, but to protect the interests of the powerful. If the US can veto accountability for Israel, then Russia can veto accountability for Syria or Ukraine; China can do the same elsewhere. Atrocities become a currency in the game of global politics, and those who suffer are condemned not by their own actions but by the alliances of those who oppress them.
We can no longer pretend that minor reforms will fix this. The Security Council veto power is not just an obstacle; it is a weapon that perpetuates injustice. As long as a single country can block the will of the international community, there will never be accountability for the crimes of the powerful. What is needed is not tinkering at the edges, but a fundamental rethinking of how the world responds to crises. We need mechanisms that put humanity above hegemony, that place international law above political alliances, that make the prevention of atrocities a non-negotiable imperative rather than a bargaining chip.
The Security Council’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza is welcome, but it comes two years too late – tens of thousands of lives too late. Entire generations too late.
It is not only Gaza that cries out for a ceasefire. The world needs a ceasefire with the past – with a hierarchy of power that belongs to another century and that has cost us too much in this one. Only then can we begin to build an international system that does what it was always meant to do: stand for humanity.

Post-war plan sees US administering Gaza for at least a decade: Washington Post
Aug 31 (Reuters) - A post-war plan for Gaza is circulating within President Donald Trump's administration that would see the U.S. administer the war-torn enclave for at least a decade, the relocation of Gaza's population and its rebuilding as a tourist resort and manufacturing hub, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
The Washington Post said that according to a 38-page prospectus it had seen, Gaza's 2 million population would at least temporarily leave either through "voluntary" departures to another country or into restricted areas within the territory during reconstruction.
