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 know, the cases of Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan are interlinked, but we did not know a lot about Talha Ahsan unti 2011. Babar Ahmad case was much more prominent. Babar Ahmad was viciously beaten, Talha Ahsan's name mentioned in Guantanamo Bay , I do not know. 

    Christopher Tappin, was extradited to the USA in February 2012, despite widespread opposition.

    Abid Naseer is not a having forum bar, which could have saved Babar & Talha. 

    I think extraditing, Babar and Talha, with Abu Hamza, Khalid Al-Fawwaz and Mr Bari, was very devious and nasty so that Gary's extradition could be blocked.

    Gary's extradition decision date was delayed until October, so that Talha could have been extradited. I do not think a decision was done behind close doors for Gary McKinnon, the American government wanted him, he said to be the greatest hacker.

    In a Yougov poll, only 9% of people thought Richard O'Dwyer he should have been extradited.

    Alan Johnson, the last Labour Home Secretary wanted to extradite Gary McKinnon.

    I suspected the extradition of Babar and Talha, are related to terrorist allegations, blocking those extraditions would cause more problems but Haroon Rashid Aswat (Abu Hamza's codefendent may not face extradition).

    I think it is the opinion of the British public. Richard O'Dwyer had the most support.

    Gary McKinnon had the support of the Daily Mail.

    Babar and Talha had some support.

    If the N.A.S had supported Talha Ahsan, a lot of the members (parents of children who read the Daily Mail) will be dissatisfied, and complain to the Daily Mail. People cannot compete with the Daily Mail. Membership of the N.A.S is  largely a white conservative middle class group.

    The others including Abu Hamza, Abu Qatada, Haroon, Khalid al Fawwaz, Adel Bari receive almost no support.

    If Talha Ahsan, dies in a USA prison (I hope he comes home), the American government are in trouble as well as the British government, I think the American media will focus on the case. I think it is very likely a prosecution of the Government if he dies will be successful because of the hard facts (very likely to commit suicide and similarities to Gary McKinnon).
