After just over a month in prison, Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde has requested a change of residence on the grounds that his current prison does not adequately accommodate his vegan diet.

According to The Local, Sunde was originally sentenced for facilitating copyright infringement in 2010, but then went on the run until he was captured at the very end of May. Since his capture, Sunde has been serving the first part of his 8-month prison sentence in Västervik, Sweden, but he recently wrote to prison authorities requesting a transfer to a lower-security prison in Malmö that he says would better suit his dietary needs.

Sunde’s current residence is one of Sweden’s highest-security prisons, and it offers three types of food: regular, regular without pork, and vegetarian. Sunde says he is a strict vegan, and the prison’s vegetarian options are not sufficient for him. He says he has already lost several kilos since he was incarcerated at the beginning of June, and thus requested a transfer to a lower-security prison for the rest of his sentence.

In addition to his 8-month prison sentence, Sunde was ordered, along with his co-founders, to pay approximately $6.9 million in damages to the movie and radio industries for facilitating copyright infringement with his file-sharing website.
