Doctors will begin legal moves to switch off the life support of a British peace campaigner shot by an Israeli soldier, a friend says.

Tom Hurndall, 22, was shot in the head while observing the Israeli army in April, leaving him in a permanent vegetative state.

Doctors will apply to the High Court in the next few weeks, said family friend Carl Arrindell.

Mr Arrindell said: "The specialists' conclusion is that he is in a vegetative state and the quality of life is so low there is a question as to whether it is right to keep him like that for any protracted period of time.
