10,000 Attacks: UK Prison Staff Under Siege

The UK is facing a crisis in its prisons. A GB News report reveals over 10,000 attacks on prison staff by Muslim inmates in just four years. The Ministry of Justice data shows a disturbing trend. One particularly violent incident involved Hashem Abedi, the Manchester Arena bomber, who brutally assaulted three prison officers. "Concerns are raised about the power that Muslim gangs wield in British prisons," says the GB News report. The Justice Secretary's announcement of funding for prison expansion offers a potential solution, but questions remain about how this will address the root causes of the violence. The Prison Officers Association also reported additional attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for improved safety measures and a comprehensive strategy to tackle the issue.
