Muslim prisoners sue for millions after they were offered ham sandwiches for Ramadan

Scores of Muslim inmates at a high security prison are set to launch a multi-million pound claim for compensation after they were offered ham sandwiches during the holy month of Ramadan.

They say their human rights were breached when they were given a special nightly menu - drawn up to recognise their specific dietary requirements - by officers at HMP Leeds last month.

More than 200 Muslim inmates at the jail are believed to have been offered the meat which is strictly forbidden by Islam."

"They are now launching legal action, insisting that their human rights were breached and could each be entitled to up to £10,000 in compensation if they win their case at court.

One Muslim inmate, a 28-year-old who was serving a 16-week sentence for driving whilst disqualified, said: 'When I opened my meal that night I found I'd been given a ham sandwich. I'd asked for cheese.

'It was a breach of my human rights and I want compensation.'"

Tack för tipset, Janne!

Ja, som man ser kan man snart bli stämd för allt som går emot islam och muslimer. Jag kan inte förstå hur det kan komma sig att de ska ha annorlunda mänskliga rättigheter än oss andra? Jag känner inte till några andra som skulle komma på tanken att dra upp mänskliga rättigheter och stämningar, bara för att man fått fel macka....allra minst några som sitter i fängelset och FÅR ALLT BETALT, trots att man har begått brott och egentligen förtjänar bröd och vatten....det är så man mår illa!
