London police detained 86 people outside Wormwood Scrubs prison after protesters gathered in support of Umer Khalid, a Palestine Action member on hunger strike. The demonstration escalated when protesters refused to leave, blocked prison staff, and some accessed restricted areas, prompting police action and detentions for suspected aggravated trespass. Khalid, held on remand since July, is the last of eight activists still refusing food in protest against charges of break-ins and criminal damage, which he denies. Palestine Action, founded in 2020, has been involved in several high-profile actions, including raids on defense factories and vandalism of symbolic targets, and was designated a terrorist organization by the British government last year.
