Ahmed also contends that the Hague Convention allows him to argue in his defense that the children's return would not be "permitted by the fundamental principles of [Egyptian law] relating to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms," which allegedly do not permit Muslim children to be denied their right to an Islamic upbringing.
Ahmed argues that further imprisonment for failing to abide by this special condition, i.e., revoking his supervised release if he refuses to return the children after his release from prison, would violate the Double Jeopardy Clause by exposing him to multiple punishments for the same offense for which he was convicted.
Ahmed fails to realize that "the entire sentence, including the period of supervised release, is the punishment for the original crime, and 'it is the original sentence that is executed when the defendant is returned to prison after a violation of the terms of his release." United States v.

Ahmed Refik asserts that the eldest was assigned to the sultan's privy chamber, while the other three (he says) were employed in the inner treasury as desired by their grandfather Mehmed IV.
Since the death of Mehmed III in 1603, the Ottoman rule of succession had been moving from the winner-takes-all game of the 15th and 16th centuries not into primogeniture but into seniority, and rulership was being handed over "horizontally" among siblings, reverting only when these were exhausted to a "vertical" father-to-son pattern.
And when the beginning of the end came for Ahmed III and Damad (Nev?ehirli) ‹brahim Pa?a, the sultan, his beloved grand vizier (whom he would soon throw to the dogs) and other members of the same team were having a meeting at Hatice's waterfront palace in Üsküdar.
