Organisations in South Africa have expressed solidarity with pro-Palestine hunger strikers currently held in British prisons, calling for their immediate release.

Some of the detainees have reportedly gone more than 50 days without food, raising serious concerns about their health and the risk of death if urgent action is not taken.

In response, activists and civil society groups are planning to gather outside the British Council offices in Johannesburg.

The demonstrators say the action is intended to confront the British government over what they describe as its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
