Activist in dock for Jihadi John remark
Activist In Dock For Jihadi John Remark. A rights group in contact with the man thought to be Islamic State group executioner ‘Jihadi John’ before he left Britain for Syria is facing a backlash after accusing intelligence services of radicalising him.
London: A rights group in contact with the man thought to be Islamic State group executioner ‘Jihadi John’ before he left Britain for Syria is facing a backlash after accusing intelligence services of radicalising him.
Cage, whose leading figures include former Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg, describes its work as supporting people arrested or raided as a result of the “war on terror” following the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
When Mohammed Emwazi was identified by the Washington Post as ‘Jihadi John’ last week, Cage held a press conference at which its research director Asim Qureshi described him as a “beautiful young man” and blamed the British intelligence for radicalising him.
It claimed that MI5 had been tracking Emwazi since at least 2009 and even tried to recruit him. Emwazi had complained of harassment between 2009 and 2012, had been stopped from going on a trip and prevented from pursuing a job and a marriage in Kuwait.
