The guard alleged abuse against US fugitive Nicolas Ross took place at HMP Edinburgh.
A prison guard has been suspended for alleged religiously-motivated abuse against US fugitive Nicholas Rossi, a court has been told.
His advocate Neil Shand told Sheriff Norman McFadyen that a number of incidents are said to have taken place inside the jail, including "chanting and name calling" directed towards Rossi. Mr Shand said Rossi had made a complaint about three prison staff over an incident which was alleged to have occurred last week.
Mr Shand said: "The information passed from the prison is that he declined to make himself available and go to the room which the video link takes place. Rossi had applied for an electronic monitoring assessment, but this was declined by Sheriff McFadyen.
