Paris prosecutor's office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said Abdeslam was brought before an anti-terrorism judge today for a new interrogation effort. She said that Abdeslam refused to respond to the judge's questions.
He didn't request a new lawyer either. Abdeslam's former lawyers stop defending him because of his ongoing refusal to speak.
He initially said he wanted to explain his path to radicalisation and his role in the November 2015 Islamic State attacks, but has since chosen to remain silent to protest 24-hour surveillance of his prison cell and his solitary confinement.
