WE WERE DETAINED THE DAY BABAR AHMAD WAS DETAINED



Stop Police Terror Calls The British Public To Stop Being Bullied By Bush & Blair



Action Alert

06 August 2004



In light of Thursday’s (5 August 2004) arrest of Babar Ahmad by Anti-Terrorist officers acting upon an extradition request from the US, incredulously alleging that he is responsible for planning attacks and laundering money to terrorists, Stop Police Terror urges all British people to stop being bullied by Bush and Blair and fight injustice by attending the forthcoming conference in Tooting, South London this Sunday.



The high-profile case of Mr. Ahmad, formerly referred to as Suspect A, who was arrested as part of the December raids, was the foundation and inspiration for the Stop Police Terror campaign. Therefore it comes as no surprise that the British establishment are seeking to remove this thorn in their side only two days before the South London Stop Police Terror conference was due to be held. Moreover, his arrest comes at a time while investigations as part of the official complaint he lodged are still pending in this case which had attracted much media attention and aroused deep anger in the community. It is rather convenient that the British establishment are now seeking to eliminate the very individual who has exposed and widely publicised the extent of police brutality and the arbitrariness of their arrests.



Mr. Ahmad is a law-abiding, upright British citizen, born and educated in South London, Described as an “intelligent, articulate graduate with a lovely family”, he is a well-known, highly beneficial member of the community, who has contributed particularly to the preservation of the Muslim youth and ensuring they are occupied with Islamic activities. Is he really a dangerous terrorist, a key Al-Qaeda planner of operations as they would have us believe, or simply a political pawn? Where is the much-lauded British justice? Why must we bend at Bush’s every beck and call?



Was it not sufficient that the Anti-Terrorist officers burst into his home and brutally beat Mr. Ahmad, inflicting more than 50- potentially life-threatening- injuries in December 2003? Was it not sufficient to imprison him in solitary confinement and interrogate him for 10 days, subjecting him to psychological abuse, only to release him as a free man without a single charge levelled against him. Surely if there had been a shred of incriminating evidence it would have been found in the forensic searches of his property, in the intricate scans of his computers or in the raid of his workplace. And if that were not enough, then exhaustively sending samples of his DNA and fingerprints around the globe should have been more than adequate in securing some charge, but unsurprisingly – yet again – they were able to find nothing. So from where arises the need to extradite this British citizen to a country infamous for its human rights abuses?



Can we really have faith in an administration which has arrested more than a staggering 5,000 Muslims on its own soil since 2001, whose soldiers continue to torture and humiliate innocent civilians from Afghanistan to Iraq to Guantanamo? Can we rely upon an administration which extracts confessions under torture and duress - or who renders individuals to foreign governments to torture on their behalf - and makes such confessions the basis for arrests and charges levelled against individuals across the globe? Can we trust an administration which deprives its detainees of legal counsel, of access to witnesses, to independent enquiry for years, who evade the rulings of their own Supreme Court? Can we trust such an administration to treat Mr. Ahmad with fairness and justice, when its interests lie in raising and lowering the terror alert at whim, to secure their seat in the upcoming elections, who revel in creating an atmosphere of fear and paranoia amongst the British and American people?



Let us not forget recent examples of the December and the Manchester raids, where all detainees were released without charge, or the arrests of Algerians in Scotland, whose lives were destroyed in spite of their innocence now being established. Let us not forget the 594 arrests with only 6 charged. Let us not forget the extradition proceedings against Lofti Raissi which was thrown out in a British court for “lack of evidence” and more recently, the charges levelled against Abu Hamza extracted from a Guantanamo detainee interrogated under torture in legal limbo, and as part of a plea bargain from a “man forced to buy his liberty with his conscience”. We must not allow another miscarriage of justice and must refuse this extradition. We demand that his case is transparent and that if charges are brought against him, that he should be entitled to a fair trial, with access to a lawyer on British soil.



Stop Police Terror urges all Muslims and non-Muslims alike to protest this outright denial of justice and show their support for the campaign by attending this Sunday’s Denial of Justice conference in Tooting, South London. There will subsequently be NO ENTRY FEE required.







ACTION ALERT



1. The minimum but the most effective means of helping Babar Ahmad is to supplicate for him - Make dua for Babar Ahmad in your tahajud (night) prayers, while you are fasting and in the places and times where du’a is most likely to be accepted. Take advantage of the fact it is Yawm Al-Jumuah, make du’a between the adhan and the iqamah and in the hour (the last hour before Maghrib on a Friday) in which supplications are not rejected.



2. Advise all Muslims and non-Muslims you know to attend this conference



3. Publicise the conference in every way that you can - distribute flyers, send out e-mails.



4. Raise awareness for this case by mentioning it in your Khutbahs (Friday sermons), lectures, and by referring people to StopPoliceTerror.com



5. Write letters of complaint to Mr. Ahmad’s MP, Tom Cox, and to David Blunkett. Further details and model campaign letters will be available during the conference.



We must stand up in support of the victims of Police Terror before we ourselves become the victims. Refusing to attend out of fear or paranoia that we will become guilty by association is simply playing into the hands of Bush and Blair. Our previous conferences have reiterated the message of the story of the “Day The White Bull Was Eaten” - Do not fail to act before one day it is said, “We were detained the day Babar Ahmad was detained”.

did anyone go?!

[Raeesa]

for those that came and got the address of bro babar ahmed..
please read the following

for those that didnt come, please rite in inshallah:

WRONG PRISONER NUMBER ISSUED FOR BABAR AHMAD



Unfortunately Woodhill Prison issued the wrong prisoner number to members of Babar’s family. The erroneous number has since been publicised widely via the internet and at the Stop Police Conference yesterday as part of the address to write to Babar Ahmad and in spite of the fact that the family and others have sent letters and money (without which he cannot purchase small items or make phone calls).



Please write to Babar as soon as possible at the correct address below:



B Ahmad MX5383

HMP Woodhill

Tattenhoe Street

Milton Keynes

Bucks

MK4 4DA



Please disseminate the correct address as widely as possible.
