UK government urged to act after pro-Palestine journalist suffers health emergency in ICE detention

The family of British-Tunisian commentator and journalist Sami Hamdi has urged the UK government to take action after he suffered a health emergency in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in the US. “In a phone call with his wife Soumaya this weekend, Sami shared that he was experiencing excruciating pain on his left side and needed to be seen by a medical professional immediately,” the family said in a statement. “He has now been able to access medical attention, but we remain deeply concerned that his continued detention is damaging his health.
