British police arrested 86 people on suspicion of aggravated trespass after protesters breached the grounds of a prison in west London during a demonstration in support of a Palestine Action activist, authorities said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made Saturday evening outside HMP Wormwood Scrubs, where demonstrators gathered to protest the detention of a prisoner reportedly on hunger strike.<\/p>\n
Police said the group refused to leave when ordered, blocked prison staff from entering and leaving the facility, and made threats toward officers. Some protesters also gained access to a staff entrance area of one of the prison buildings, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the Justice Ministry described the incident as \u201cdeeply concerning,” The Independent reported.<\/p>\n
