Dr. Haneef a Terror Suspect

The Prime Minister of India gives clean chit to Mr.Haneef a terror suspect.
It is also no-bodies business to question the right of the Australian police
to pick up a terror suspect, and question him.

At the same time, he has been freed within few days, acknowledging lack of evidence.Haneef was held without charge for 12 days only following his arrest
at Brisbane International Airport on July 2.

Whereas thousands hapless innocent old mothers ,old fathers, pregnant sisters and minor children are arrested on daily basis without bail and jailed in India under section 498A Indian Penal Code without any enquiry or investigation for several years, without committing any alleged offence. This is going on with Prime Minister's full knowledge. This law is also branded "Legal Terror"by Supreme Court of India. Malimath committee report also suggest amendment in this law and remove it's draconian effects

Division Bench Delhi High Court comprising Justices RS Sodhi and HR Malhotra observed that: "People accused of committing offences and minor offences are not released on bail. The courts are becoming insensitive. We have become used to prisoners languishing in the jail for years. We care only when the issue is highlighted,

The court's comments came while taking suo motu cognisance on prisoners languishing in the jail for petty offences, which had led to overcrowding in the prison. Seventy per cent of the men and women in India’s prisons are still awaiting trial — that’s a staggering 300,000 people. Some have already spent more time in jail just waiting for a court date than they would have had they been found guilty.

The Bench also held that it amounted to violation of human rights."Are people living here meaningless? Is there no human rights for the prisoners languishing in the jail (in India) without sufficient reasons," the Bench questioned, adding that the State had no justification whatsoever to keep a man in jail without reason. The Bench also pointed out that most of those prisoners are people living below poverty line."Show us a single case where a tax-payer is languishing in the jail for petty offences. Most of them are poor people and we are hurting them by not providing a decent life and by putting them in jail,"

Indian doctor Muhammad Haneef described the ordeal he had gone through during his detention in Australia on false terror charges as death-like.
"'I think it was a reminder for me of the final day - the day of death. Being in the grave. The ordeal reminded me of that death when one is alone in the graveyard,' Haneef told reporters here, recalling how he felt during the 25 days he spent in detention.

Mohammad Haneef was not a superstar. He was a terror suspect.
The Australian police found a remote link (SIM card) to terrorism but could not find any solid evidence.

However, it is to be noted that just because the police could not find evidence against Haneef, it does not mean Haneef is not at all linked to terrorism.
To think otherwise is to commit a logical fallacy.There should be further investigation to establish that this guy is as clean as the Indian government want him to be.

What is the Indian govt. going to do?
Will Indian police do their own investigation or will the government, just roll
out a red carpet and arrange superstar treatment for the terror suspect?
A terror suspect, however, gets celebrity status just because he'd been arrested and questioned by a nation which believes in itself, its values, its laws, cares for its citizens and, unlike India, witch routinely fails in delivering justice to victims of terrorism, murder, rioting, blackmail and extortion.

He couldn't be charged by the Australian police because of lack of solid supporting evidence. He was jailed for a few days. They accused Australian
law of being draconian.It is the same apparently draconian Australian law that saved the day for Haneef. " If you're guilty, you'll be proved guilty" If he was arrested in India, he'd have spent many years in a jail without trial.

It is the logical fallacy of believing that Haneef is innocent just because no evidence had yet been found against him by Australian police.
However, the evidence may be found tomorrow, it may be found in Bangalore or it may be found in London. But we've been made to feel that it'll never be found.
After all they were Haneef's cousins and not Hanif himself who drove flaming jeeps full of explosives into airports full with hundreds of innocent people.

Chatroom conversations Mohamed Haneef had with his brother suggest that the Indian doctor may have had prior knowledge of the botched terror plot in the UK, There was a computer room conversation, a chat room conversation, with Dr Haneef's brother in India on the afternoon before his attempted hasty departure from Australia.

British police originally said Haneef's SIM card was found in a burning Jeep used in a terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport. It was in fact located in searches at Liverpool.


On June 30th at 3 pm a green jeep smashed the glass doors of the Glasgow airport terminal in order to blow up the airport. The occupant of the jeep Kafeel Ahmed, an Indian, after a failed attempt to blow up the gas canister in his Jeep Cherokee, tried to immolate himself. The UK Police investigating to the failed bomb attack arrested four foreign doctors based in UK, two of them were Indians and the rest were from Middle-Eastern countries. As a follow up to the investigation Dr Haneef arrested by the Australian police under counter-terrorism laws.
The 27 year old Dr. Haneef had come to Australia from England on a Visa sponsored by Queensland Health. Just after the botched bomb attack on Glasgow airport in UK, Mohammad Haneef who was working in Gold Coast Hospital was taken into custody while he was trying to leave the country.

Dr Haneef despite being given a bail by the local magistrate was once again put under house arrest by the Australian police as his visa was revoked on character grounds. The Indian government extend all possible consular assistant to Dr Haneef to fight his case. They believed that the Australian government was detaining him on clumsy ground and that he was innocent.

Dr Haneef was arrested on the ground that he lend support to the UK terror plot as his SIM card was found in possession of Kaleef, the man who tired to blow himself up after the failed Glasgow bomb attack. The fact was that Haneef’s SIM card had been found in the possession of the brother of a terrorism suspect in Liverpool.
