He argues mingling with other prisoners poses no greater danger than others while noting alleged conspiracy to murder Dr Martin Luther King Jr. He cites poor ventilation and claims a deal by attorney Percy Foreman and prosecutors kept him in isolation.

French built boats sighted headed for Israel from Cherbourg
Five French built gunboats with Israeli crews were spotted en route to Haifa after slipping from Cherbourg on Christmas morning. The vessels, part of a 12-boat sale to a Norwegian firm, faced diplomatic tension as Egypt and Arab states weighed responses while France halted arms to Israel and Pompidou considered easing the embargo. The ships reportedly refueled during the voyage and were observed near Sicily before advancing toward the Mediterranean gateway to Israel.
