Supporters of Palestine hunger strikers arrested at London prison.

Eighty-six people were arrested in the UK for supporting a pro-Palestine activist on hunger strike at a London prison, where they blocked staff and threatened police. Umer Khalid, the activist, has been on hunger strike for 16 days and is closely monitored for medical concerns. The protest stemmed from his imprisonment for vandalizing an airbase, leading to a ban on the activist group Palestine Action. Several other activists have also been on hunger strikes, demanding fair treatment and the closure of Elbit sites in the UK.
