Update on Talha Ahsan

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.

  • If the N.A.S, had supported Talha Ahsan, there is a greater likelihood, his extradition would have been blocked, but the media was largely unsupportive of Talha's case, especially the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail gave Gary McKinnon, fantastic support, placing him on their front page.

    It is shameful and disgusting our Government has decided to ignore Talha. There are mosques, autism organisations, the media and organisations such as the American Civil Liberties Union who must know about Talha Ahsan's case.

    If anything happens to Talha, Theresa May could be in trouble.

    If he dies, I think the consequences, will be severe for Theresa May.
