Food..

For the first time in almost a year, the 12 individuals were able to eat food of their choice, in court, on Monday May 7th 2007.

Family members rushed out from the court to bring shawarma, samosas and coke to court for the individuals on Monday. The individuals, teary eyed, mouthed words of thanks across the court to their families.

Previously, the accused would leave Maplehurst Detention Centre early in the morning with a light breakfast often consisting of a hard, pancake type, 'cardboard' bread and would be served one light fish or vegetable sandwich in the afternoon. (Nothing filling). Upon returning to Maplehurst in the evening, dinner would be over (at 4pm) and they would not be served anything until the next morning.
