The Nigerian native known as the “Underwear Bomber” sued the Federal Bureau of Prisons and Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday in federal court in Denver, alleging his constitutional rights are being violated at the ADX supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court of Colorado, alleges that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been forced into solitary confinement for an undetermined amount of time, that he’s been chastised by other prisoners and guards for being Muslim, and that he’s been force-fed non-halal food when he went on hunger strikes to protest his alleged mistreatment.
Abdulmutallab is serving four life sentences, plus 50 years without parole, after he was convicted of attempted use of weapons of mass destruction charges. He was sentenced in February 2012 and transferred to ADX the next month.
Abdulmutallab had tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear while aboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas 2009.
He was alleged to have connections to al-Qaeda and Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the Colorado State graduate who had called for the killing of Americans before he was likely killed in a drone strike in late 2011.
The lawsuit alleges that once Abdulmutallab got to ADX in Colorado, he was immediately placed in long-term solitary confinement and placed under special administrative measures (SAMs) that prohibited his communication with most of his family members up until last year, when he was allowed to talk to his sister.
The lawsuit says he’s still not allowed to talk to any of his nieces or nephews.
It says of 154,000 people incarcerated by the Bureau of Prisons, Abdulmutallab is among less than 30 who have special administrative measures, and alleges that he shouldn’t be placed under the restrictions because his communications don’t risk “death or serious bodily injury to persons” or property, which is a requirement of the SAMs.
“Prison walls do not form a barrier separating prison inmates from the protections of the United States Constitution,” the suit says.
It says the restrictions constitute “an unconstitutional deprivation” of his First Amendment rights to free speech and association.
next time he goes on a hunger strike let him starve.
He’s a jihad terrorist who tried to bring down a civilian airplane full of innocent people — OF COURSE any of this communications are potentially dangerous — one can’t know what further acts of terrorist barbarism he might be trying to direct or inspire.
He was sentenced in February 2012 and..................
.............executed in March of 2012.
In a more sane world......
“...This lawsuit could’ve been prevented...”
You’re right. With odongo, I’m surprised he wasn’t let go...just to avoid a lawsuit.
Now, a firing squad would solve the problem...real quick.
Serve him pork 365 days a year.
Let him self evacuate.
his constitutional rights are being violated
?????? hahaha!!!
Sorry, Acccchhhmed I ran out of flying f***s to give. Don’t even have a spare damn I can give.
next time he goes on a hunger strike let him starve.
>><<
And let him watch the guards eat some pork ribs.
This person is not a civilian terrorist. Once his affiliations became known, he should have been transfered into military custody and tried as an enemy combatant where the penalty is death.
>The Nigerian native<
I think I’ve identified the problem.
Is he an American citizen? If not, no Constitutional Rights.
Execute all islamic terrorists caught in the act and still living.
Immediately. Anything else is a waste of taxpayer dollars and often puts the public at further risk.
If he’s a Nigerian native he doesn’t have any constitutional rights.
well, if he wanted halal food, he should have worn his underwear bomb in a muslim country
This individual is a foreign national caught perpetrating an act of terror and attempted mass murder. Anything other than being shot is far too little. But Holder or that other freak of nature were in charge back then, and now he enjoys three squares, a cot, and an attorney that understands his gutter tongue.
Message sent
but that's me
Perhaps you’re being overly dramatic ?
Sorry, Acccchhhmed someone blew up the plane my f***s were flying in. I don’t even have a spare damn I can give.
