Concerns have been
raised about the
conditions of custody
of the suspected terrorists.
NSW: The lawyer for eight Sydney men charged with terrorist offences has again raised concerns about the conditions of their custody and is asking New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma to intervene.
The men were arrested last month and are alleged to have been stockpiling chemicals in preparation for a terrorist attack.
The case was briefly mentioned in Sydney's central Local Court this morning where the men's lawyer, Adam Houda, complained that the prosecution is yet to provide details of the evidence against the men.
Outside the court, Mr Houda said the men are being held in solitary confinement and he claimed some are being mistreated and denied their rights.
"This treatment is very cruel and inhumane and what I've put forward to the Premier Morris Iemma to intervene and put an end to this scandal," he said. |
