INMATES protested against alleged racist and Islamophobic abuse by a senior prison officer at a Worcestershire prison on Saturday.

Prisoners at HMP Long Lartin in South Littleton chanted “no justice, no peace” after claiming that a senior prison officer has repeatedly targeted black prisoners who are practising Muslims.

The Ministry of Justice confirmed an investigation is underway after protesters said that there have been at least three attacks on black Muslims at the facility in the last nine months.
