The mother of one of the five young terror suspects is speaking out, saying her son is being treated more harshly than the four other suspects.
Fadumo Husseins son, 20-year-old Guled Omar, is being held in the Ramsey County Jail.
The five co-defendants are scheduled to stand trial on terror charges in February.
Hussein says this is especially difficult for her family because of the loss of Guleds older brother, Ahmed Ali Omar.
Ahmed Ali Omar has been a fugitive since 2009 and has been charged with fighting for al-Shabaab in Somalia.
Hussein is a single mother of 13 children. Through translator Sadik Warfa, she spoke out Monday against what she says is the harsh treatment of Guled in the Ramsey County Jail.
He is suffering greatly at this moment, she said through the interpreter.
Guled Omars attorney has written two letters to federal Judge Michael Davis, complaining that his client is the only one of the five defendants being held in solitary confinement and is not allowed access to television or reading materials.
The only thing she can assume is that they are putting him under pressure so he can take the plea deal, Warfa said.
Three of the nine defendants accused of trying to join ISIS have taken plea deals in the case.
Hussein says her son was repeatedly threatened that if he did not also take a plea deal he would face stiffer charges.
Last week, additional charges were added for Guled Omar and the others who hadnt pleaded guilty.
One of the new charges conspiracy to commit murder outside the U.S. carries a possible life sentence.
Hussein says her son has no regrets over not taking the plea.
He has not committed any crime, she said through Warfa. Why does he have to take a deal?
Hussein says it would be wrong if Guleds harsh treatment was somehow linked to the fact his older brother is also a terror suspect. Guled Omar is believed to have left in 2007 with the first wave of young Minnesotans to go overseas.
[Hussein] doesnt know if her elder son died or is alive, Warfa said.
On Monday afternoon, WCCO-TV learned that the conditions of Guled Omars incarceration have changed.
Sgt. John Eastham of the Ramsey County Sheriffs Office said Omar is not in solitary confinement and he is not in a cell 23 hours a day.
Glenn Bruder, Guled Omars attorney, said that is new information to him and that as of last week, when he last spoke to his client, he was being held in solitary confinement.
The U.S. Marshals Office also said in a statement that if a prisoner fails to comply with the rules of the institution in which he is housed, the prisoner can lose privileges."
Really, I do.
Yep, mother of 13. What’s boy to believe about such an upstanding citizen on the dole?
Who is the husband? Welfare?
Problem is, the media is leading the charge to discredit the legal system here, in Minnesota.
They have lost sight of who the good guys are.

Indigenous Americans families would be doing well to have two children. With the assistance of the wellfare system, these people with their death cult religion will out breed us in no time.
...Hussein is a single mother of 13 children.
Who is the husband? Welfare?...
Or, the fathers of the fambly?
He’s really a good boy. Just trying to get his life together. (sarc)
“He is suffering greatly at this moment, she said through the interpreter.”
If I had a dollar for every time someone in jail was ‘suffering greatly’, I could buy the Middle East.
He joined MENSA 3 months ago. He was planning to go medical school next spring!
Our tax dollars at work.
We are feeding this mother of terrorists and her brood of future terrorists. What an ignorant bunch we are letting enemy filth into this country and paying their bills! History will laugh at our gullible blindness to danger.
13 children and single! For someone who needs an interpreter she apparently gets around just fine amongst Minnesota’s male population.
Ammo up.
Single mother of 13 children, doesn’t speak English. Just the kind of person that WILL NOT Make America Great Again! All of them should be shipped back to wherever they came from.
“Single mother of 13 children, doesnt speak English”
She has been told what to do and she has done her job well.
Someday there will be a statue of her throwing her headscarf into the air on nicollet mall.
WEll I guarantee he isn’t suffering as much as the 4 American hostages being held in Iran.
