First news conference since release
On Wednesday, four of the hunger strikers – Ahmed, Qesser Zuhrah, 21, Teuta Hoxha, 30, and Heba Muraisi, 31 – spoke to journalists for the first time since they were granted bail in February, after some of the charges against them were dropped.
Maddy Norman, another Palestine Action-linked prisoner recently released on bail, was also at the news conference.
They appeared subdued but resolute. Zuhrah was tearful, dressed in her grey prison-issue tracksuit. Hoxha warned reporters that, due to the brain fog she has been experiencing in the aftermath of her strike, "My mind is not operating as it should be. It's not as sharp as it was."
Lisa Minerva Luxx, spokesperson for a campaign supporting the group, told journalists that the former prisoners are seeking legal action against the prisons they were held in over their "medical neglect”.
