Arrested under anti-terror laws, not charged but awarded damages for abuse.

Will be extradited to US on separate charges.

Funny how the police force always seem to lie when this happens. Also the fact that the IPCC dismissed the claim doesn't exactly instill much confidence in the IPCC.

"Pulled by the testicles", what happened to innocent until proven guilty? I wonder if anyone arrested under the anti-terror law gets ay respect. I doubt even someone who is arrested for murder would endure anything like this abuse. The police force needs to make sure its own officers do not just act out of their own prejudices.

Sounds like he got some Jack Bauer style treatment there, shame he's getting a penny to be honest.

He wasn't even charged with anything. Arrested, then beaten and then released without knowing why other than a vague clause in the anti-terror law. Sounds like justice.
 
So the High Court have taken the word of a suspected terrorist (and let's be honest, if he's being extradited to the US then there is a lot of evidence that he is a terrorist) over the word of the police and IPCC. No surprise there then.

No wonder Britain is the worlds number 1 location for terrorists to come and live.

How anyone can defend these actions someone who for the time being is a suspected criminal is beyond me.

He hasn't been convicted of anything, him being rewarded compensation is what this country stands for, human rights. I hope it really offended him getting all that money.

The guy is being extradited to the USA for running a terrorist fund-raising website.

Extradited so that he can be charged and then tried. He isnt being extradited to serve a sentence. Currently he hasn't been found guilty of anything.

I love the smell of eroded rights in the morning.
 
I don't see the problem, he got beaten up by police and was not guilty of anything, hence compensation.

Um, no. The Met actually admitted to the charges of brutality.


Lawyers for Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, who had initially disputed the claim, agreed at the High Court that Ahmad had been the victim of gratuitous violence.
​

So they're not taking his word over the word of the police and the IPC. They're accepting the Met's admission of guilt!

As for "let's be honest, if he's being extradited to the US then there is a lot of evidence that he is a terrorist" - does the name "Guantanamo Bay" ring any bells? Scores of men illegally detained without charge for years, and subsequently released without conviction. Yeah, there must have been "a lot of evidence" that they were terrorists! :rolleyes:

How would you feel if the Met plods burst into your house and beat you savagely for no good reason?

I am sure the US can fabricate, sorry, unearth something.
