Eight remand prisoners from the Filton and RAF Brize Norton cases began an open-ended hunger strike on 2 November 2025 — the largest in UK prisons since 1981. Four refused food for up to 73 days. Their demands included bail, an end to correspondence censorship, the right to a fair trial, dropping the terrorist-connection claim, de-proscription, and the closure of Elbit’s UK operations. Bail was granted on 20 February 2026. The Justice Secretary declined throughout to meet their representatives.
