Ullah: Hospital Bed and Akayed Ullah

ullah: He could be seen on the video lying on a hospital bed with his head propped up on a pillow and his body covered up to his neck in sheets, according to CTV. Two assistant public defenders, who stood beside his hospital bed, did not request bail. Akayed Ullah said little during the hearing, which lasted a little over 10 minutes. U.S. Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, sitting in a federal courthouse in Manhattan, communicated with Ullah via video shown on several monitors in the courtroom. Ullah didn't enter a plea but answered a few of the judge's questions, including answering I can see you when she asked if he could hear her and yes I do when he was asked if he understood his rights. She read him his rights as he nodded his head several times, acknowledging that he understood. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
