All news on the topic: Hashem Abedi

Prison officers are urging the Justice Secretary to permit the use of electric stun guns in the UK’s most dangerous jails.

Abedi has been moved to the only available highly-controlled ’suite’ cell in the country - a standalone self-contained unit monitored by a minimum of five people at any one time, and a prison dog. There are only four such cells across England and Wales.

Small, claustrophobic and fraught with danger - this is the specialist wing for radical Islamists where three prison officers nearly lost their lives in a savage attack.

Three prison officers were hospitalised after being attacked by Hashem Abedi, brother of the Manchester Arena bomber, it’s been reported.
