Unbelievable: Jailed Pro-Lifer Says She Was Kept in Solitary Confinement for 22 Days With Lights on 24/7In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington DC FACE Act trials, said that she received prolonged solitary confinement for sharing food with fellow prisoners. (Washington, DC) — [LifeSiteNews.com] A jailed pro-life prisoner has been paraded in court in full shackles and says she has been punished with prolonged solitary confinement. (Image: Unsplash-Grant Durr) Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington, DC, FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) Act trials, told LifeSiteNews that she has been subjected to 22 days of solitary confinement.

Zastro said that, upon entering the courtroom, the shocked judge ordered the shackles removed.

Only at the insistence of the indignant judge were the shackles of both wrists finally removed, although the marshal left the bars around her waist and feet. Idoni faces over 50 years of incarceration in federal prison and over $1 million in fines for taking part in several peaceful pro-life rescues in Washington, DC, Michigan, and Tennessee. Should Idoni receive maximum penalties in these cases, in which previous counts can be compounded to heighten subsequent sentences, she will have been sentenced to the longest prison term in the history of the US civil disobedience movement for human rights...
