The Siddique family at the Appeal Court with lawyer Aamer Anwar, 29 Feb 10
|
Mohammed Atif Siddique was victim of a "miscarriage of justice", says Appeal CourtThe Appeal Court in Edinburgh has ruled that Mohammed Atif Siddique, jailed for eight years for "terrorism" offences, had suffered a "miscarriage of justice" and that it was "minded to quash" his conviction. The Crown now has an opportunity to decide whether to launch a fresh prosecution against Atif Siddique, who has already served 4 years of his sentence. There will be a further hearing at the Appeal Court in Edinburgh on Tuesday 9 February. Atif is a young man whose family live in Alva, Clackmannanshire. He was convicted in September 2007 for "terrorism" offences connected to his use of the internet and was later sentenced to eight years in prison. Atif was convicted and jailed for actions that harmed no one. He isn't a terrorist. He shouldn't be in jail. It's time for justice to be done.

Creating SuspectsThe "War on Terror" promotes a racist culture of suspicion towards migrant and Muslim communities. It generates and manipulates public fears to justify a perpetual state of war. It started long before the 11th September attacks Ordinary criminal law provides more than adequate powers for the police to protect the public, but that law is not adequate for the anti-democratic 'war on terror'. We are meant to distrust others and to accept new state powers
as our benign protector. Attacks on civil liberties are not
simply a means but also a fundamental purpose of this 'war on
terror'... |

Keep CACI out of the Scottish CensusCACI Ltd, a UK subsidiary of a company that has been involved in interrogating prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison, was in June awarded the contract to run the 2011 Scottish Census. It's unacceptable that Scottish taxpayers are being asked to support a company that has been involved in shameful human rights abuses. An official rehearsal for the census was held on 29 March in the west of Edinburgh and in Lewis and Harris. CACI Ltd was responsible for printing the census forms and for developing the internet service that allowed people - for the first time in the UK - to provide census information online.
