Protest roof

On the afternoon of Sunday, September 13, the prisoned prison of Strangevays in Manchester got out on its roof. He spent the next 61 hour there. Stuart Horner, who was serving a 27-year-old deadline for the murder of his uncle, protested against the poor conditions of maintenance in prison: he paced the roof in one underwear, beat the glass with iron rods, and crushed surveillance cameras. Other prisoners supported him from the inside of the prison, the onlookers crowded behind the gates, and local media were directly broadcast from the scene. When the police tried to approach Horner, he threatened them with the same rod, and they retreated. On the third day, the prisoner agreed to give up -in exchange he promised to give pizza and Coca-Cola. Steve Horner almost did not eat or slept for two and a half days. "Medusa" shows how his protest rally passed.
