Three Palestine Action-linked prisoners ended a 73-day long hunger strike after the government decided not to award a multi-billion-pound contract to the UK subsidiary of Israeli arms company, Elbit Systems.

Four others who paused their hunger strike agreed not to resume it.

Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, and Lewie Chiaramello were the last remaining prisoners on hunger strike.

Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah, and Amu Gib, who paused their strikes late last year, also agreed to end their hunger strike.

Muraisi, Ahmed, and Chiaramello agreed to end their hunger strike late on Wednesday after news broke that the British government had agreed not to award a £2bn contract to Elbit Systems.
