A Somali man currently held in Britain as a ‘key suspect’ in the killing of a British policewoman, Sharon Beshenivsky, is refusing to mix with any white person in prison, claiming “it abuses my human rights”.

Prison officials said Thursday that Mustaf Jamma’s mountain of complaints and racist demands have led to him being given his own Muslim officer to look after him - “but he is still complaining that the officer is white”!

Jamma, 27, left the UK’ security operatives gaping three years ago when he used a full female Islamic veil, head-to-toe clothes; and his sister’s passport to flee Britain after the shooting of PC Sharon in 2005.

He was brought back from his native Somalia last year and currently confined to the Wakefield jail in West York, England where he is awaiting trial.

Now, officials said he is refusing to associate with white prisoners or staff, especially women, claiming it infringes his religion and human rights.

“He is refusing even basic stuff like picking up mail and is getting black Muslim prisoners to do it so he does not have to associate with any white”, they said.

“He should be routinely tested for drugs but he is refusing to co-operate”, officials added.
