>Awale was transferred to a special separation unit for the country’s most dangerous prisoners after he and another inmate ambushed the prison officer and threatened to kill him unless Britain released Qatada.
>He claimed this segregation – designed to prevent him harming officers and radicalising other inmates – had breached his right to a private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
>Awale claimed that he had suffered “severe depression” as a result of being denied contact with other inmates.
>The court was told he had asked to associate with one of the Islamist extremist killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby but was denied the request owing to “counter-terrorism concerns”.
>The High Court ruled in Awale’s favour, with a judge saying: “The degree of interference with the claimant’s private life which has resulted from his removal from association has been of some significance and duration.”
Astonishing. Lost for words.

This has to be a false flag attack, making us hate human rights

Pandering to Islamic extremists is going to result in all of us having our human rights taken away. At this point leaving the ECHR and Farage in number 10 feel almost certain.
Not even one day into 2026 and we have headlines like this.
It was a failure on the prisons management, one of many.
Our prisons are a shambles and they cannot uphold the standards they are set at.
>“It’s a sick joke that taxpayers are handing this man £7,500 in compensation and footing a legal bill of over £230,000. This is a double murderer and extremist who took a prison officer hostage,” he said.
It’s more of a sick joke that our prisons are in such a shit state that these claims can come about in the first place. Do your job and stop passing the blame. Take some accountability for costing us, the tax payers, that money.
This is a ruling from the high court so all of these comments regarding how reform would be different can do one. It wouldn’t be different. The ruling would be the exact same. Our prisons are run and overseen by incompetent arseholes. We’ve seen this with the ‘mistaken releases’ month after month. The high court have only ruled on what the law tells them they can rule on. Robert Jenrick really should take a long hard look in the mirror before calling out the high court for doing their job. Tory politicians for you though.

This is the kind of shit that is going to get Reform in, campaigning against the ECHR!
That money should be taken straight off him to compensate those who have had their human rights violated by this piece of filth!

1. This has to be some sort of distraction right? I can bet any money GB News will be plastering this story everywhere.
2. Why the fuck were legal feels £230,000? As a nation we need to address this.

I don’t doubt there is nuance here but fuck me if this sort of headline isn’t going to emboldened Reform and propel us out of ECHR and then we will all have to live with the consequential shitshow (because remember how well our last flounce went / is still going).
