Terrorists appeal for return to less restrictive lockup
Omar Rezaq Ibrahim Elgabrowny Nosair and Mohammed Saleh, four convicted terrorists, asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to restore access to less restrictive prisons after long periods in Supermax and solitary confinement. Their attorney Laura Rovner said three were moved to solitary confinement after the September 11 attacks, though not linked to those acts. Rezaq spent 13 years in isolation without due process.
