Absurd how he’s allowed to walk free after what he contributed to.
He should have life in prison without parole. If his “psychiatric” condition has improved, lock him up so he can he held accountable for his actions.
This is not the type of guy you want walking freely amongst us.
> ‘I have to wish you all the best and say to you that the way forward is to keep on your medication, listen to the advice you are going to get, and **keep out of the sort of things you were doing**. Because you saw where it ended up and you do not want to go back to that, I am sure.’
I wouldn’t say I’m *furious* at the remarks made by the Judge but they are weirdly infantilising, like he’s telling off a school boy for shoplifting sweets, and not.. you know, Terrorism.

The “all the best” comment isn’t particularly relevant, it’s probably a pretty normal thing for judges to say to people being released. The real problem is him being released at all.
So no evidence he masterminded anything?
And he’s done 10y in prison in the USA but never been convicted in a UK court.
And the people in mental health (not reliable but whatever) have signed off his release?
Because “reformed” terrorists have fit in so well with society in the past…
Remember that Probation and a special Police Public Protection Unit will be monitoring this guy 24/7. If he does the slightest thing wrong, or even causes his Probation officer to be slightly concerned, he’ll be pulled back into prison with no court or anything involved.
The ‘All the best’ comment could be quite cynical as the judge knows that the Probation and Police will be looking for any and all opportunities to recall this guy back to prison.
Did he not have a second citizenship? What a pity, can’t fob him off to Bangladesh or wherever…
I’m sure that this will end well. I’m sure he will stay on his medication and nothing will happen.
Can someone who’s read the article tell me, fury from whom exactly, or is it just the usual made up shite.
Ok, his sentence is over. What do we want the judge to call him a dickhead on his way out or something?
I guess the bigger question is “can someone that’s been radicalised be fixed”
“I have to wish you all the best and say to you that the way forward is to keep on your medication, listen to the advice you are going to get, and keep out of the sort of things you were doing.”
That seems more like the judge is resigned to the fact there’s no legal option to lock him up and can only hope for the best.
Seems a bit vague as to whether he was convicted and for what in this country.
> At his trial in New York in March 2015, Aswat pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and, in October that year, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with “specialised psychiatric care”.
> In the first two weeks following the 7 July 2005 bombings, police sources initially told newspapers that Aswat made some 20 mobile phone calls to two of the suspected bombers just hours before the blasts
> In October [2015], the U.S. District Judge sentenced Aswat to 20 years in prison, and ordered the federal prisons bureau to provide him with “specialised psychiatric care”.[10] Aswat was deported back to the U.K. in 2022, where he was detained in hospital.[31][11]
Obviously this is as inflammatory as possible.
You either believe the point of prison is reforming someone’s character and beliefs such that they’ll become a better citizen, or you don’t. I get the sense that most commenters in this thread don’t.
Please stop these bots posting this hate/lies/Daily Mail/Daily Nazi petrol fuel bullshit ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He now gets to be under constant surveillance at vast cost to the taxpayer.
Wait, ‘masterminded’ 7/7? He’s never been charged with that. What’s that claim based on?
5 months per murder is shockingly low, even by British standards.
Yeah, I hope whoever has decided this guy can walk free, is willing to take responsibility for when this goes wrong.
I’m as leftie as they come and I’m all for rehabilitation but this man is a mass murderer? How is a mastermind behind a terrorist attack that killed 52 people getting released? what the actual fuck.
