Nick is back in solitary confinement, he had already written and told me he may have a little trouble because he had been caught speaking. Yes, I did say speaking, prisoners are only allowed to speak twice a day for a very short period of time, I am told that this solitary comfinement puncihsment can last up to 28 days or longer. Nick has already completed almost 4 years in solitary before he was moved.
Whilst Nick was being investigate he fainted, so they tell me !!! when he came too he was covered in sweat, he is also suffer from blurred vision and has been for many weeks.
Fuchu Prison rule book states, if a prisoner become ill he will be punished, it looks like Nick could be in further trouble!!!!
The British Embassy have requested that Nick be checked medically, they think theres a possibility that he could be epileptic!!!. 4 years ago Nick was a strappy 6 foot man.
Nick has lost a further 10 kilos in Fuchu, they are feed only limited amounts of poor quality food which is always cold. They are allowed rations of approx 2000 calories per day, but if there is not enough work in the factories for them to complete a full day these rations are cut, there is not enough work to keep prisoners working all day. If your are in Solitary your rations are cut even further. Nick is not able to buy extra food, not even bread and cheese, none is sold in the prison.
Nick suffered frost bite once again this year this is the 4 time Nick has suffered this.
I can no longer fight for a fair trial for Nick, all I can do is fight for his human rights. Really difficult in Japan as you can see by Nick treatment so far.
I understand that a prison must have rules, but to punish a person for speaking is not only childish its barbaric and unacceptable in the a so called modern Country.
What really shocks me is that the British Government know about the total abuse of human rights to British people are they really powerless to do nothing!!!
There are many more human rights abuses in Japanese prison and I will be please to tell to you, just ask.
My concerns for Nick grow daily, if he becomes a mark man by these guards, what hope does he have of surviving these bullies with their barbaric rules.
