For all of you familiar with his case, his family have set up a governemnt petition and they need 100,000 signaturaes by next month, so far they’ve only reached 24,437.
I Whatever you think about him, i think its crazy they are willing to send him to USA to go on trial though he never even went to the country and they barely have any evidence against him

Re: For Uk Guppans - Need 100,000 to put Barbar Ahmed in trial in UK

sharabee, if you listen to his sister she addresses your point very well, i’d recommend you read up on the case then form your opnion about it -
skip to 2.27 and listen
and anyway this is a govenrment petition and they need 100,000 signatures by next month for this to go in debate in the UK parliament

Details of his case:
Babar Ahmad; born London, England, May 1974) is a British Muslim of Pakistani descent who spent eight years in prison without trial in the United Kingdom from 2004 to 2012 fighting extradition to the United States. The US accused him of providing material support to terrorism via a website that he set up in the UK in 1996 to publish stories about the conflicts in Bosnia and Chechnya, but which in 2000–2001 allowed two articles to be posted on the site offering support to the then Taliban gover...
Re: For Uk Guppans - Need 100,000 to put Barbar Ahmed in trial in UK
just checked the petition, 25,105 signed, its great but they need 100,000
maybe its wishful thinking but seeing at this is a high profile case i thought they’d be more signatures.
this is the song for the campaign
Let all your Uk friends know, remember this petition will make a difference,
if they get 100,000 before next month the Uk parliament, they will debate whether to trial him in the UK
