From the New York Daily News:
Fifteen years after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a Palestinian sentenced to more than 100 years in prison in the attack claims that a vengeful U.S. government has blocked him from appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ahmad Mohammed Ajaj, who remains in extreme isolation in the nation’s most secure prison, filed a lawsuit last year in U.S. District Court in Manhattan against more than a dozen judges, federal court employees, Bureau of Prisons officials and his former defense lawyer Maranda Fritz. He said they failed to notify him of appeals court rulings and blocked his access to what he would need for a Supreme Court appeal of his conviction on conspiracy charges in the Feb. 26, 1993, bombing, which killed six people and injured more than 1,000 others.
…
In his court papers, Ajaj describes a grim existence at the Colorado prison in which he was forced to wear waist and leg chain irons for prison video conferences with the courts. He said his lack of access to the courts has left him depressed and with chronic low self-esteem and stress.
It sounds to me like the guards at Colorado’s Supermax prison are doing a fine job.
