London prisoner with muscle-wasting condition claims he has to crawl on floor
Umer Khalid, a prisoner with a muscle-wasting condition, claims he has been forced to crawl on the floor due to lack of treatment and a wheelchair while being held at Wormwood Scrubs in west London. He alleges he was left in his cell during a fire alarm evacuation and went 26 days without a shower. Khalid is awaiting trial for alleged involvement in a break-in at RAF Brize Norton.
