SubhanAllah, I would recommend everyone reads the full version in the link of a snapshot of Talha Ahsans life over the past decade. A snippet of it is as follows (which doesnt include the details of how he was treated in prison): Talha says: I pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and one count of providing material support to terrorists. I was not guilty of either but I otherwise faced the potential of receiving a life sentence if a jury convicted me in an atmosphere of serious prejudice. I now have a conviction for a terrorism-related offence of which I am not guilty. The US Judge said: Ahsan did not support AQ or its terrorist actions against civilians She described his character as: “You had, and have, a nonviolent, I guess, outlook on life” “I would, again, comment that he’s conducted himself in a way which reflects well upon him while in custody. I’m not sure that, I, myself could have conducted myself that way.” “A moderate person who has peaceful views” “You strike the Court as a gentle person.” “In all, you appear and strike me as a man who is sensitive and curious, intelligent and talented. And as I say, there are many letters in support of you as well who speak about you and your character as one which is not violent and not aligned with the views of people who are violent.” There is no sign that Mr. Ahsan’s view of what is Jihad in an Islamic sense should be equated with terrorism. “ There is no sign that Mr. Ahsan’s view of what is Jihad in an Islamic sense should be equated with terrorism”. data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/committeeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/extradition-law-committee/extradition-law/written/12925.html
