1. End all censorship
We demand to be able to send and receive communications without restriction, surveillance, or interference from the prison administration. Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that is vital for prisoners, whose voices are already systematically silenced. Censorship inside prisons is a tool of control used to punish resistance. Letters, phone calls, political statements, books and all other forms of expression must be respected.
2. Immediate bail
We demand that we be released from custody while awaiting trial. Holding people on remand, in some cases indefinitely, is a deliberate abuse of power, used to punish prisoners before they have even faced a court or been convicted of any crime. Some of us will have been imprisoned for nearly two years without a conviction. The right to a fair trial must include the right to prepare for it in freedom, not behind bars.
3. Full disclosure of damage figures from Brize Norton action
We call on the government to open the dialogue for discussion and negotiations to commence in order to avoid any further harm being inflicted on citizens of your country through your inaction and in order for the hunger strike to be ended safely.
4. Deproscribe
We demand the immediate dropping of all terror-related charges and ‘links’, and an end to the use of the Prevent strategy. The government’s use of counter-terror laws to target those engaged in protest and direct action is unjustified and unprecedented, and must be stopped.
In light of this, we demand that the British government deproscribe Palestine Action. Direct action is not terrorism. It is a legitimate tactic deployed when democratic channels fail to reflect the will of the people. When the government breaks the law, citizens have the moral responsibility to act in defence of life, human rights, and collective dignity.
We also demand an apology from Yvette Cooper for spearheading a smear campaign in a cynical attempt to justify her decision to proscribe Palestine Action. Her claim that Palestine Action was a violent organisation “possibly funded by Iran” has no basis in fact.
5. Re-open the Gaza inquiry
On 4 June 2025, Jeremy Corbyn MP introduced a bill into the UK House of Commons calling on the government to establish an independent inquiry into UK involvement in Israeli military operations in Gaza, including the supply of weapons, surveillance aircraft and use of Royal Airforce bases.
At the second reading on 4 July 2025, the government rejected this bill and refused to establish such an inquiry. The public deserves to know the full scale of their government’s participation in genocide.
6. Release surveillance footage from RAF spy flights the night of the killing of British aid workers
Three British aid workers were killed in a Israeli strike in Gaza, in April 2024.
John Chapman, 57, James Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, were among the seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in the strike.
They were travelling with a convoy that had just unloaded more than 100 tonnes of food aid brought from overseas, according to the charity.
All three vehicles in the convoy were hit while leaving a warehouse in Deir al-Balah, south of Gaza City.
Rishi Sunak, prime minister at time, said the deaths “appalled” him. Why have they never seen justice, or even a clear answer as to how and why this happened?
