Update on Talha Ahsan

Arran

Talha Ahsan is detained in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day at the high security Northern Correctional Institution whilst awaiting his trial in October 2013. His family have received ONE letter from him on the 13th November that was dated 23rd October and are still anxiously awaiting his first phone call. In the letter he mentions Gary McKinnon but is completely unaware that Theresa May has blocked his extradition.

Theresa May starts her speech at the 2012 Conservative Party Conference with the following irresponsible and misleading statement "Wasn't it great to say goodbye - at long last - to Abu Hamza and those four other terror suspects on Friday? She continually dehumanises Talha Ahsan by refusing to use his name.

In the video of the Full Gary McKinnon Press Conference 2012, at 8:28 Mark Lever from the NAS talks about Asperger syndrome and the extradition but he fails to mention Talha Ahsan. At 19:20 he mentions the importance of intervention for ANYONE with Asperger syndrome. Pause the video at 19:49 and notice the blank expression on Mark Lever's face when Talha Ahsan is mentioned. He is a man who gave absolutely zero support to Talha Ahsan whilst he was awaiting extradition.

The most concise summary of Talha Ahsan and his case is published on the Asperger Home Education website. Also read their verdict on the extradition of Gary McKinnon. 

Please watch the Extradition Film as it is very moving.

    I am happy, regarding Gary McKinnon, Talha Ahsan should never have been extradited.

    He will have very severe problems. A person with aspergers in solitary confinement, is a total disgrace to the UK.

    He is solitary confinement, unable to contact his family.

    If the NAS had supported Talha Ahsan then it would probably have succeeded in persuading Theresa May to block his extradition. My local Asperger syndrome support group was very proactive in lobbying the government to put him on trial in the UK but, like all other independent local support groups, was ignored. The NAS is the only autism and Asperger organisation that carries any weight as far as the government is concerned. 

    Everyone should complain to the government !!!

    The government appears to have washed its hands of him. There have been cases of MPs telling people to stop writing to them because Talha Ahsan is now outside of the control of the British government. I'm not sure how much longer Caroline Lucas will continue because of the risk of sounding like a broken record.
