Kevan Thakrar still awaits judgment after case alleging unlawful solitary confinement was heard in April 2023

A prisoner who brought a legal challenge in April 2023 alleging he had been held in solitary confinement in England for more than two years has said he remains in isolation 20 months later because the judge has not given her decision in the case.

Kevan Thakrar, who is serving a life sentence for murder and attempted murder after being convicted on a joint enterprise basis in October 2008, brought a judicial review against the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) claiming unlawful solitary confinement.
