A woman who is taking part in a hunger strike in the UK has been transported to hospital following calls from protesters for medical intervention.

Five more people awaiting trial over alleged offences are said to be continuing to refuse food.

A letter describes the deteriorating health of prisoners Kamran Ahmed, Qesser Zuhrah, and Amy Gardiner-Gibson as their hunger strike continues.

Lawyers for eight remand prisoners waiting to go on trial say they could die in prison as part of their protest.
