🚨URGENT: over 20 pro-Palestine supporters, at Wormwood Scrubs for hunger striker Umer Khalid, have been arrested. It's likely it will hit 50.

One of those arrested was Canary videographer @Essad_48, who was filming the protest and not directly involved.https://t.co/wz9WcDCGxi

1. It was a public entrance, open gates, no guards, no signs, nothing to suggest the public cannot enter.
Nobody was seen asking protesters to leave.
This 🧵 counters the police’s ridiculous attempt to justify arresting 85 peaceful protestors. https://t.co/WLUDbhhJ88 pic.twitter.com/UfI5WAGcDs
