Manchester Arena victim disgusted at prison attack

A Manchester Arena bombing survivor has said he is angry, disgusted and broken after the bomber was able to attack three prison guards at a high-security unit in County Durham.
Hashem Abedi, who is being held in HMP Frankland, threw hot oil at the officers on Saturday and stabbed them with improvised blades.
In an open letter to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, Martin Hibbert criticised how Abedi was given the “comfort and privilege” of kitchen facilities and said he is furious the pain of survivors is being so “blatantly disrespected”.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said there will be a full, independent review into the incident.
Abedi, who helped his older brother Salman plan the Manchester Arena attack, was jailed for life with a minimum 55 years in prison after being convicted of murdering 22 people in the 2017 attack.
