Jailed hate preacher Abu Hamza ‘one step closer’ to winning his ‘compassionate’ return to Britain
HATE preacher Abu Hamza could be one step closer to a return to Britain as he pushes his campaign to be released from a US Supermax jail on "compassionate" grounds.
In January, Hamza claimed he is losing his sight and told a court he has “untreated vision decay”, possibly linked to Covid-19.Hamza, serving life for terrorism charges, said: “This new development makes it impossible to communicate, interact or compile any legal work.” It was included in a lawsuit he is pursuing against outgoing US Attorney General Bill Barr, claiming he had been subjected to “cruel” jail conditions.
In a requested to Judge Torres, attorney Audrey Strauss wrote: At the suggestion of the Bureau of Prisons and defence counsel, the Government writes to request that the Court grant the BOP permission to provide medical records for the defendant to defence counsel in this matter, to facilitate the filing of a motion for compassionate release.
