One of Lee Rigby’s killers has been moved to another maximum security jail amid fears he was radicalising inmates, a Muslim group says.
Michael Adebolajo was taken from Belmarsh in South East London to Frankland, Co Durham, and is being kept apart in an isolation unit.
He wrote to support group Muslim Prisoners who said: “The guards at Frankland are worse than Belmarsh for treatment of Muslims. This move is deliberate.”
Spokesman Abu Bara, 31, said: “In their eyes, Muslims getting together is conspiracy, just talking to each other is seen as radicalisation.”
The group said that at Belmarsh Adebolajo, 29, was also kept segregated, but talked to inmates when let out to exercise in a cage.
Belmarsh guards are being investigated after Adebolajo lost several teeth while being restrained.
He and Michael Adebowale, 23, were jailed for life last year for hacking to death Drummer Rigby, 25 , as he walked to his barracks in Woolwich, South East London.
