A British pro-Palestine remand prisoner who was on the brink of death after a hunger strike has been admitted to hospital again, according to family sources, renewing fears for his health and well-being. Umer Khalid's latest hospitalization comes amid ongoing concerns about his treatment while being held in custody. The 22-year-old had started a hunger strike in February to protest his detention, which was later approved by the Home Secretary. His health has been a major focus of attention since then.
