Trans prisoner Zoe Watts is being denied 'life-saving' medication, activists say
Briefly

Zoe Watts, a trans inmate in HMP Peterborough, has allegedly been deprived of critical medications, including sertraline and estradiol valerate, which are essential for her health and wellbeing. Activists from Justice4ZoeWatts report that despite multiple complaints to healthcare staff over the past week, no responses have been received. With the inmate reportedly confined to her cell for over 23 hours daily due to safety concerns, the denial of her prescribed medications has prompted urgent calls for her transfer to a women's facility, compliant with UK government policies on the treatment of trans individuals in prisons.
Jailers have denied vital medication to trans inmate Zoe Watts despite her legal gender recognition as female in the UK.
Activist group Justice4ZoeWatts claims Watts has been without crucial medications for over a week, raising concerns about her health.
