Campaigners demand urgent protection for prisoner subjected to "racist attack"

CAMPAIGNERS are demanding protection for a prisoner who was allegedly stabbed four times in a murder attempt by a “known racist” inmate at HMP Full Sutton. 

Kevan Thakrar told the Incarcerated Workers’ Organisation Committee following the attack yesterday afternoon that two prison officers looked on while he was being stabbed. 

But the Ministry of Defence (MoJ) disputes claims that officers did not intervene.
