An Insulate Britain protester who has been on hunger strike in jail for nearly two weeks has been taken to hospital.
Emma Smart, 44, was moved to the hospital wing at Surrey’s HMP Bronzefield on Friday, according to a statement.
Smart was jailed for four months earlier in November for breaching an injunction – and immediately vowed to stop eating until the Government moves to insulate homes.
Smart’s husband, Andy Smith, said she is ‘feeling a bit weak but she’s still in good spirits’ at the Ashford prison, where she has not had food for 13 days.
‘I have less time to go outside in the prison yard for exercise now.
‘All of this is testing my resolve to continue, but I feel that not eating is the only thing I can do from prison to draw attention to those who will have to make the choice between heating and eating this winter.’
