The Times of London outlines the perks and privileges of the Jericho Six during their period of incarceration:
* Monitors complained that Saadat, Shobaki and the four other “special” prisoners were given the run of the compound by Palestinian guards
* They were not “locked down” at night
* They were never separated from the 300 other prisoners
* They had mobile phones and computers; Shobaki ordered the monitors’ phone jammers to be turned off
* They had up to 90 visitors a week and used other prisoners “as domestic staff”
* Saadat kept birds and had a big book collection
* Inmates and guards referred to Shobaki as “brigadier”. He smoked up to five Cuban cigars a day
