Hunger strikers' supporters send a dripping red message to Lammy Two supporters of the Prisoners for Palestine hunger strikers took their message direct to David Lammy's office on 12 December

"It is six weeks now since the hunger strikers, imprisoned without trial...were forced to use their bodies to expose this situation and resist injustice. Despite their rapidly deteriorating health, the government has continued to ignore them"

Between 2018-2024, 59 people died in women’s prisons in England & Wales. 39% of these deaths were self-inflicted. In the next four years, self-inflicted deaths across all prisons in England and Wales are expected to rise by 21%. @inquest-org.bsky.social
www.inquest.org.uk/Handlers/Dow...

Women who died in prison could still be alive today if the government had listened to calls from campaigners and years of evidence to end the imprisonment of women. Instead, government prioritised tweaks to women’s prisons that have failed to prevent deaths and harm.

@inquest-org.bsky.social today launches 'Built to harm: how women’s prisons take lives', a major new report exposing how reform has failed to stop preventable deaths in women’s prisons.
