Hate preacher Abu Hamza is pictured as a shrunken and pathetic figure (tr)

A picture has emerged of an ageing Abu Hamza cutting a shrunken and pathetic figure without his infamous hooks.

Two years of solitary confinement has taken its toll on the hate preacher, who has launched an appeal claiming his prison conditions are a breach of his human rights.

Despite only being 59, his hair and beard are now completely white and his sturdy frame has morphed into a scrawny shape.

The black and white snap appears to have been taken within the confines of the US Supermax prison in Colorado where he is trying to be moved from.

Hamza has had enough of the US prison where he spends 23 hours a day in his cell and would go back to a British one 'in a second'.

The former imam of north London's Finsbury Park mosque has registered an appeal against his incarceration at the high security Colorado prison ADX Florence.

The convicted hate preacher, 59, claims his conditions at the prison are a breach of his human rights under Article 3 of the European Convention, which protects people from 'inhuman and degrading treatment'.

Since he was convicted of 11 charges in October 2015 he has been kept in solitary confinement, only being allowed out of his cell for an hour a day, the Sunday Times reports.

US court documents seen by the newspaper reveal even when he's allowed into the fresh air, he has to be kept in a cage with no other inmates allowed.

Before US prosecutors won their eight-year legal battle to extradite him from the UK in October 2012 he was locked up at Belmarsh in south east London - where things were quite different.

...”after two years in solitary confinement”

He only has two consecutive life sentences (with no possibility of release), plus five to 15 years, to go.

Their case is that the American Supermax prison isn’t up to European expectations for amenities, but it’s design is based on the innovations designed by the Germans for their domestic terrorists (Bader Meinhof Gang, etc.).

After a few years in solitary in a little white cube with the lights on 24x7, alone with only an unblinking camera lens, they tend to lose certain social graces, like the ability to utter coherent sentences.

Not a preacher, an imam (ie, MOOSLIM). Words mean things.

He should get a nice meal today.

Bacon and eggs for breakfast

Pork and beans for lunch

Roast ham for supper. Yum, yum.

“These are not words I would use to describe him..”

How about, “Sadly, not yet dead”?

I agree. Drop him over shark infested waters.

He appears to be in good health. How well would he look if he were in a prison in the Middle East?
