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.

    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.

    The mainstream media is the most powerful unelected and unaccountable force in the UK. In a climate where the media is hostile or silent then justice is at risk. This is why it was important that the NAS got behind Talha because it could have acted as leverage to give him some positive media coverage.

    This is going off at a tangent but some Muslims say that the Muslim community is also to blame for not establishing media networks that appeal to non-Muslims which could have been used as a mouthpiece to raise awareness for Talha and Babar.

    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.

    It doesn't appear as if American Muslim communities or ASD organisations have noticed this extradition yet. If they have then they are keeping quiet about it.

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

    She will blame it on the Yanks then come out with some feeble statements like "we complied with all the rules; this isn't Guantanamo Bay; the ECHR said it was OK to extradite".

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

    There will be disquiet from certain sections of the Muslim community but I doubt that the event will even get any coverage in the British mainstream media. The NAS will remain completely silent.
