HMP Wormwood Scrubs

HMP Wormwood Scrubs is a prison located in West London. It has recently become newsworthy due to protests held outside its grounds in support of a prisoner associated with Palestine Action, a group designated as 'terrorist' by the British government. These protests centered around a prisoner, Umer Khalid, who is reportedly on hunger strike and refusing water in protest of charges linked to Palestine Action. Recent events include a mass arrest of protesters by the Metropolitan Police for aggravated trespass after they breached the prison grounds. The protests and subsequent arrests highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding Palestine Action and the treatment of its members within the UK legal system, placing HMP Wormwood Scrubs at the center of this controversy.
