In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is to Allah, who grants strength to the steadfast and victory to those who stand firm upon truth.
We announce, with gratitude that Umer’s thirst and hunger strike has come to an end, not in surrender, but in victory.
Through patience, courage, and unwavering conviction, Umer refused silence in the face of oppression. His stand has been heard. The prison has entered negotiations and his demands have been recognised, a clear testament that resistance rooted in justice bears fruit.
This moment affirms that the spirit cannot be imprisoned, and that life, dignity, and faith prevail over cruelty and neglect. We thank all those who stood in solidarity, whose voices, duaa, and presence strengthened this struggle.
Yet the struggle is not over.
Umer’s health remains fragile after prolonged deprivation. Justice now demands compassionate bail, so that he can recover, be cared for, and regain strength in dignity and safety.
We call upon those in authority to act with conscience and humanity.
Indeed, Allah is with those who remain steadfast.

@freeumerkhalid for updates on Umer.
Hearing about a man, who has dedicated his life to stopping a genocide, being horrifically mistreated and abused by the British police and government has been heartbreaking.

We need to talk about Umer Khalid.
While Keir Starmer fights harder for his job this week than for the life of a young man, Umer is wasting away in HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
A “human rights lawyer” is overseeing the slow destruction of a non-violent prisoner with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Left behind during a fire alarm, given a useless wheelchair to tick a box, and denied his dignity.
This is the reality of the Starmer government. This is the price of standing with Palestine. Break the silence. Demand compassionate release now.
