Ex-women’s prison ‘should now help survivors of abuse’
Sisters Uncut occupy Holloway roof to deliver their own election message
FEMINIST activists occupied an abandoned north London women’s prison at the weekend to put the needs of domestic violence survivors on the agenda.
Eight activists from direct action group Sisters Uncut occupied Holloway Prison’s visitor’s centre to demand the empty space be used as a women’s centre to “support local domestic violence survivors.”
Another 150 protested outside after the eight snuck in through an open window and activists said there were no arrests.
