House of Commons – Dec. 15, 2025

Dear Secretary of State,

We, the undersigned MPs and Peers, are writing to implore you to meet with Imran Khan & Partners, the lawyers representing the 8 prisoners on hunger strike, immediately.

We note that Imran Khan & Partners wrote to you on the 9th of December imploring you to meet with them “before our client’s health deteriorates beyond any possible recovery”.

We draw your attention to the section of the letter which details the exceptionally urgent medical status of the prisoners, five of whom have already been hospitalised more than once. In particular the following extremely serious symptoms: pulse above 100 beats per minute, ketone levels above 4, weight loss of more than 10kg, deteriorating vision, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, hypoglycaemia, shallow breath, and signs of memory loss.

We are growing increasingly dismayed at the government’s lack of action to protect the health and wellbeing of British citizens.

If you will not meet with the MPs who are representing the hunger strikers and their loved ones, then we plead with you to urgently meet with their solicitors and act to prevent a catastrophe.

Signed,
