Die familie van Tooting se "vergeet" terreur verdagte, wat bly in die tronk sonder verhoor, die voorbereiding van die vyfde herdenking van sy gevangenisstraf te merk. Syed Talha Ahsan – 'n 31-jarige skrywer met Asperger-sindroom – was arrested at his home in Franciscan Road, Tooting, on July 19, 2007, after US authorities requested his extradition.

He is accused in the US of terrorism-related offences arising out of an alleged involvement with a series of websites between 1997 en 2004. Mr Ahsan’s case is linked to that of Babar Ahmad – but he has received much less media attention than Mr Ahmad, who was arrested in 2003 and is also still in prison.

Mr Ahsan, who graduated from the School of Oriental and African Studies with a First in Arabic, has never been charged or tried in this country. He is currently in the final stage of proceedings at the European Courts of Human Rights – fighting against extradition.

Speaking to the Wandsworth Guardian this week, Mr Ahsan’s 73-year-old father, Syed Abu Ahsan, said the family was “very very depressed” about the situation, adding he did not hold out much hope his son’s case would be resolved soon.
