Lindsay Lohan Calls "Harsh and Unfair" Sentence "Violation of Rights"Lindsay Lohan Calls "Harsh and Unfair" Sentence "Violation of Rights"



Lindsay Lohan doesn't just think her 90-day prison sentence is harsh -- she thinks it's a violation of her human rights.
"It is clearly stated in Article 5 of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights that.... No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment," she wrote on Twitter shortly before blowing off her 24th birthday party to hang out with Kim Kardashian (who Twittered for fans to send "sweet prayers" her way)

"Ms. Lohan and I are extremely disappointed in the sentence handed down by Judge Revel. We believe that the penalty is far harsher than what others would have received under similar circumstances. The reality is that Ms. Lohan, like most defendants, had to balance work commitments with court requirements. To be punished so severely for doing so, particularly in light of the fact that she substantially complied with each of her probationary conditions, is harsh and unfair. That said, Ms. Lohan is prepared to serve her jail time and to comply with the Court's orders."

Chapman also defended Lohan's nails, which were painted with "F*ck You."

"With respect to Ms. Lohan's nails, the fact is, the words could barely be seen by the naked eye. That a courtroom camera, purportedly there to accurately chronicle the proceedings, would use a telephoto lens to zoom in as it did to Ms. Lohan's fingernail is a commentary on the entire issue,” Holley said.

It is something I have worked for all my life," Lohan pleaded.But Judge Revel, before sentencing the actress, said: "I couldn't have been more clear, and it wasn't done."The alcohol education classes were imposed after Lohan was arrested for cocaine possession and two drink driving offences in 2007.
