The man accused of the Christchurch mosque attacks has lodged a formal complaint in prison, saying he has been deprived of his basic rights.

A Corrections source said the prisoner complained he was being denied access to visitors and phone calls from his cell at the Auckland Prison at Paremoremo.Under the Corrections Act, everyone in custody is entitled to exercise, bedding, a proper diet, one private visitor a week, a legal adviser, medical treatment, healthcare, mail, and telephone calls.

"The rule of law applies, even in prison... He deserves the protection of the statutes like any other prisoner.""A prisoner who insists on all of his rights probably tells me that he thinks of himself now as a victim with some point to make against society," said Hodge. "He will feel justified in being litigious."

The alleged mosque shooter was moved to Auckland after his court appearance on March 16, charged with a single count of murder, a day after 50 people were killed in attacks at the Masjid Al Noor on Deans Ave and the Linwood Masjid in Christchurch. Use of the Air Force was "not common". The inmate was escorted by four to five Corrections staff at Whenuapai, where he was handed to the Site Emergency Response Team from Auckland Prison, a normal practice when moving high-risk inmates.Corrections would not comment on the complaint, and reiterated it worked closely with other organisations to transfer the alleged shooter.

Let him sleep on the sharp 50 bamboo sticks, that will comfort him much more!

Media needs to deprive this guy of a platform, stop giving him oxygen

Straight out of the Breivik playbook ...pure cunning . ..evil

I'd really prefer him to be granted no rights whatsoever and for the media to ignore his existence. Thankyou.

He doesn’t deserve any mention in any publication who cares how he is treated

sounds tough - are they not using lubricant ?

Now he will bs NZ legal system in a way how Breivik does it in Sweden

There is something profoundly wrong with his cognition If he believes he is being deprived of his rights When he has taken away the rights of 50 human beings the right to live
