MANCHESTER Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi has won back prison privileges as a reward for “good behaviour” — including a TV package.
Jihadist Abedi, 28, who stabbed and scalded three prison officers in April, has had his regime raised from “basic” to “standard”.

It means he also gets more canteen credit and time out of his cell at tough HMP Belmarsh in South East London.
And the thug will have more cash for phone credit and can use the gym again.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “They do that when someone behaves and it makes a huge difference to how comfortable the inmate’s life is.
“He’ll get Freeview TV with about 25 channels, can afford better food and won’t be in his cell as much.
“Naturally he is cock-a-hoop about it but many of the officers who look after him are less than happy — especially considering what he did to their colleagues.”
Abedi was sentenced to 55 years for helping his suicide bomber brother Salman, 22, plan the 2017 arena attack.
It led to 22 deaths and left more than 1,000 injured.
While held at Frankland Prison in Durham, he threw boiling liquid over a female officer and stabbed one of her male colleagues five times.
Another who was slashed in the neck was “lucky to survive” the April 12 outrage.
Abedi was moved to Belmarsh and has now been barred from contacting under-18s amid fears he could try to radicalise teens from jail.
The source said: “There are fears he’d encourage someone else to carry out an attack. It begs the question why his regime has improved if he still holds extremist views.
“He’s still massively high risk so all his movement will be under heavy escort but his life will be much more comfortable. It just seems wrong.”
