Not yet reported by the BBC, but it is confirmed as accurate. This is from a website run by supporters of Faraz:Link:http://www.cageprisoners.com/our-wor...of-ahmed-farazIn a damning judgement, the UK Court of Appeal rules that no causal link could be presented that publications produced by the Maktabah bookshop would inspire acts of political violence or terrorism. They said that it was incorrect of the trial judge to permit evidence that those who had carried out acts of terrorism had owned copies of the books or DVDs and that it was a short cut to a conviction.
The judges further explained that when the extent of acts of political violence are considered, the percentage of those who might have read Maktabah publications was very small and so such a causal link was entirely onerous.
The ripples from long-running investigation will spread widely, although being the pre-Christmas rush may easily slip from public view.
