Trans prisoner Zoe Watts is being denied ‘life-saving’ medication, activists claim

Jailers have stopped given vital medication to trans inmate Zoe Watts, according to her supporters.

The former Lincolnshire police worker was arrested in December and has been charged with possessing a firearm when prohibited for five years, possession of a firearm without a certificate and manufacturing a firearm.

Since her arrest, Watts has been held in the male wing of HMP Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, despite having the necessary paperwork for her to be held with other female prisoners.

Activist group Justice4ZoeWatts has issued an update on Watts’ treatment, alleging that she “no longer has access to life-saving medication.”

A spokesperson for the group said: “She has not been provided with her prescription of [antidepressant] sertraline for the past week and [synthetic estrogen] estradiol valerate since [before] the weekend.”
