Supremo bloquea demanda por rastas
The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit by a Louisiana inmate, Damon Landor, who was forcibly shaved in violation of his Rastafarian religious beliefs. The court ruled that individual correctional officers cannot be held personally liable under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) because they did not have a direct agreement with the federal government. The decision was based on the interpretation that only entities accepting federal funds are bound by the law’s provisions.
