'Carlos the Jackal' quits food
2004-11-30
Anybody want some of this barbeque? I can't eat it all...
THE terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal is again refusing food to protest against conditions in prison, where he is serving a life sentence, one of his lawyers said today. The Venezuelan, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, stopped eating last Wednesday and said he will continue the strike "as long as necessary," attorney Isabelle Coutant Peyre said by telephone. She said he is protesting against being kept in isolation, "provocative and unjustifiable" body and cell searches, and authorities' refusal to let him access his prison bank account for food and other necessities. He is imprisoned at a high-security prison in Fresnes, a southern suburb of Paris. In May, Ramirez went on a hunger strike for two days to protest against being moved to a new cell.
Two days? Two entire days? Amazing. Incredible. Unheard of.
Nurse, give him an enema!

#6  Next time he sneezes on French food they should sent him to a British prison to have a heavy diet of boiled beef in mint sauce with warm ale. That would teach him.

Attorney and squeeze. (Do read the part about their lovely "marriage" ceremony.)
