Amu Gib is extremely frail
For 10 days the prison refused to acknowledge she was on hunger strike
Another prisoner, Qesser (20), has dangerously low BP + high heart rate, blocked from hospital care
They're political prisoners held without trial
They must be bailed and proper medical treatment 🇵🇸

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
