Guantanamo 4

Wrong place at the wrong time said their parents.....

Afghanistan during the US invasion? A worshipper of Abu Hamsa?

Make your own minds up.

 

Name:??Feroz Abbasi

Age:??23

From:??Croydon, south London.

 

A former computer studies student, Mr Abbasi was detained in Kunduz, Afghanistan in December 2001 and arrested in January 2002 as an "unlawful combatant".

He was born in Uganda and moved to Britain with his family when he was eight.

Mr Abbasi studied A-levels and then did a two-year computing course.

He is thought to have been a regular worshipper at the notorious Finsbury Park mosque in north London, where the controversial Muslim cleric Abu Hamza gave his sermons.

UK officials saw Abbasi in April 2003, but he kept silent for an hour as they tried to talk to him amid his family's reported concerns about his mental health.

In November 2002, the British Court of Appeal said it found his detention in Cuba "legally objectionable", but stopped short of forcing the government to intervene on his behalf.

maybe I'm missing the point here, are we talking about traitors or folk locked up for 3 years without charge? :-s My views are somewhat more right than they were last time (which is nowt to be proud of) simply becasue I lived among so many for so long, so dont confuse me with one of them liberal gaurdain reading nuggets.

 

traitors, aye, shoot em, not a problem :D/

 

locking folk up for 3 years without charge, then letting them go becuase there was a) no evidence that they actually did anything or B) they couldnt make any evidence up.....hmmmm [-(

 

As it is, why the f??ck are they back in Britain, send em back to the hovel from where they were captured. But you can't lock em up for doing nowt wrong, even though it may be morally wrong in our society.

 

My own view is that they were all simply 'taken off the streets' for a while.........

I think that was my initial view. It kind of got clouded. But you're right. They were taken out of the equation before they became a part of it. A preventative measure.

Its too confusing a matter though. Why locked up for 3 years? Surely there was some evidence for this to have happened? I cannot comprehend that they were shoved in prison for nothing at all. You do not pick up someone overseas, especially in Afghanistan for nothing. The guy who was arrested there must have been up to something dodgy. If he really is innocent, I would like him to publically state what he was doing there and what his true beliefs are. Why he visited the Finsbury Park Mosque and what he really thinks of Abu Hamsa and the Al Qaeda movement.

But we know that will not happen. He will claim compensation and make money through the papers selling his story.

not if he is f??cked off back to wherever he was captured.
