Scores arrested at Palestine Action hunger striker prison
The Guardian
|January 26, 2026
Eighty-six people have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass after they breached prison grounds while protesting in support of a Palestine Action prisoner on hunger strike, the Metropolitan police have said.
The force said on Saturday evening that it had detained a group of protesters outside HMP Wormwood Scrubs in west London.
According to the Met, the group refused to leave the grounds when ordered to do so, allegedly blocked prison staff and threatened police officers. It said a number of them had also managed to get inside a staff entrance area of a prison building.
