NSW: Lodhi jailed for a minimum of 15 years on terrorism charges

Justice Whealy said Lodhi has been kept in segregated custody since his April 2004
arrest, except for a brief period.

He recommended prison authorities "not lose sight" of the need to reclassify Lodhi
at an early stage of his prison term.

"No matter how much we may deplore and disapprove of a particular offender, no matter
how repulsive we may find his or her actions we sacrifice our essential decency if we
fail to treat him or her as a fellow human being," Justice Whealy said.
