Murderer wins £240,000 from prison for depression in solitary confinement (4 photos)

Britain has once again proven that human rights extend to absolutely everyone. Even to those who have taken them away from others.





Islamist Fouad Awale, convicted of double murder and hostage-taking in prison, received approximately 240,000 pounds from taxpayers. Justice Secretary David Lammy agreed to pay compensation and cover legal costs following the court's ruling.

Awale is serving a life sentence for the shooting deaths of two teenagers in 2011. The court called it a horrific crime and sentenced him to 38 years in prison. He became bored in prison, so he and his cellmate took a guard hostage, threatened to kill him, and demanded the release of radical preacher Abu Qatada.



For this, he was transferred to a special unit for the most dangerous prisoners, with limited communication and a strict regime, and given an extra six years to keep him from getting bored. The hostage-taker turned out to be a sensitive individual and became completely depressed. He developed severe depression from loneliness and filed a lawsuit under Article 8 of the European Convention on the Right to Privacy.





The court acknowledged the violations, saying, yes, we overreacted a bit. And to console the criminal, it agreed to compensation, albeit modest. £7,500 for the suffering, but legal costs amounted to £234,000. The total amount is approximately £241,500. And all this happiness came out of the pockets of Britons who regularly pay their equivalents.



The smiling man is Justice Secretary David Lammy, who agreed to pay compensation and cover legal costs following the court's decision.

The public disagreed with this arrangement and is now outraged. Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick asked whether Justice Secretary David Lammy would pay any compensation to Avala from his own funds, rather than taxpayers' money, if he chose to comply with the court's decision. Lammy has so far remained modestly silent.
