Gary McKinnon may be not be extradited to the USA. Talha Ahsan's case is hardly being mentioned. He faces pre-trial solitary confinement and a sentence in a Supermax prison unable to see his family again.

Given the secondary health problems associated with aspergers, people should write to their MPs , Amnesty International and other Human Rights organisations to ensure Talha Ahsan is not extradited.

    Funny that given that Tony Attwood says in his Complete Guide book (and I paraphrase) that there's one known cure for Asperger's - leaving a person with Asperger's alone, in a room, with no contact with the outside world!

    Now, I'm not saying that this person should, or indeed should not, be extradited.

    However, I don't believe Asperger's is reason enough for not being imprisoned for crimes one has committed.

    It is, in some cases, however, a reason for that person to be exhonerated.

    It is not clear that this is the case here, however, as longman says, we need more, unbiased, information to go on.
