Iranian tortures himself and sues Australia

From the you are not going to believe this one department:

ANDREW DOWDELL, COURT REPORTER, February 15, 2008, The Advertiser

AN IRANIAN refugee who sewed his lips together while on a hunger strike in Baxter Detention Centre is now suing the Commonwealth of Australia for damages.
-I think the lawsuit is crap but I do want to encourage all Muslims to sew their mouths shut.

Abdul Amir Hamidi came to Australia on a boat in June 2000 from Iran, where he had been imprisoned and tortured for several months.
-So Iran tortures him, he tortures himself and he sues Australia. Sounds like a smart guy (not)

Mr Hamidi, 35, claims his treatment by Australian authorities triggered a severe psychiatric illness, for which he will need supervision for the rest of his life.
-But life in Iran was rosy for him?

In his South Australian Supreme Court statement of claim, Mr Hamidi says he was repeatedly physically and verbally abused by detention centre guards.

When being transferred to the Woomera detention centre in 2001, Mr Hamidi says he was left handcuffed and without water for up to five hours in stifling heat, as guards lunched at a roadside cafe.

Mr Hamidi claims he was denied access to a doctor of his choice after sewing his lips together as part of a hunger strike at Baxter in late 2004.
-Since when do prisoners get to choose Doctors?

During his detention, Mr Hamidi swallowed shampoo and laundry powder, slashed himself with razors, hit himself in the head with rocks and tried to hang himself.
-File that under-stupid Muslim tricks.

Despite his history of self harm, Mr Hamidi says he was denied psychiatric treatment for anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder.

Mr Hamidi says he was held in isolation cells for long periods, when “it should have been obvious that such confinement could itself cause or exacerbate psychological or psychiatric damage.”
-Yeah, putting this nut job in with others would have made him all better.

He was released from detention on Christmas Eve 2004, after the Federal Court ordered he be put into a mental health facility.

Mr Hamidi, who is now an Australian citizen, is the first detainee to launch legal action in South Australia.

Last month, the NSW Supreme Court awarded former detainee Parviz Yousefi $800,000 for permanent psychological damage suffered in detention.
-Save money send him back to iran.

In 2006, the same court awarded Iranian child Shayan Badraie $400,000 after the Commonwealth agreed to a settlement midway through a trial.

The Commonwealth has been given until later this month to file its defence.
