Charles Bronson has appeared at a public parole hearing as he makes his latest bid for freedom.
Bronson is one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners, having first been jailed in 1974 at HMP Liverpool. The Parole Board review to decide whether he should remain behind bars began on Monday morning, making him the second inmate in UK legal history to have his case heard in public.
Members of the press and public are watching the proceedings – taking place in HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes – on a live stream from the Royal Courts of Justice in central London. Dubbed one of Britain’s most violent offenders, Bronson – who changed his surname to Salvador in 2014 after the artist Salvador Dali – appeared on camera sat opposite a panel of parole judges wearing a black suit, white shirt and dark glasses.
