UK police arrested 86 people after demonstrators breached restricted areas at HMP Wormwood Scrubs in west London during a protest supporting a pro-Palestine detainee on hunger strike.
London’s Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made on suspicion of aggravated trespass after protesters entered prison grounds, blocked staff access, and refused orders to disperse. Police also alleged that threats were made against officers at the scene.
The protest was held in support of Umer Khalid, whom campaigners describe as the last remaining participant in the ‘Prisoners for Palestine’ hunger strike.
