Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, aka the 'underwear bomber," isn't happy with his stay at the supermax federal prison in Colorado where some of the countries most notorious criminals reside.
Abdulmutallab, 30, an al-Qaida operative who tried blowing up a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas in 2009, has filed a 73-page lawsuit alleging his constitutional rights are being violated in prison, reports Elisha Anderson of the Detroit Free Press.
Specifically, he alleges he’s being held in long-term solitary confinement, has been forced to eat foods forbidden by his religion, endured harassment yelled by white supremacist inmates saying things offensive to Muslims and has been prohibited from communicating with relatives, including nieces and nephews.
“Prison walls do not form a barrier separating prison inmates from the protections of the United States Constitution,” his lawsuit says, according to the Freep.
He is serving a life sentence.
