Animal rights activist dies
(Filed: 05/11/2001)

ANIMAL rights protester Barry Horne has died after being
on hunger strike since the summer, the Prison Service
said.

Horne, 49, was probably Britain's best-known animal rights
extremist and was serving 18 years in jail after being
convicted of plotting a nationwide bombing campaign.

He had been at Long Lartin high security prison in
Worcestershire until last Thursday, when he was admitted
to hospital with liver problems.

The cause of death was liver failure, a Prison Service
spokeswoman said. Horne died at Ronkswood Hospital in
Worcester.
