Charges against Nizamdeen dropped, threatens to sue Police
Saturday, October 20, 2018
Australian Police have decided to drop terrorism charges against Mohamed
Kamer Nizamdeen, (25), a Sri Lankan studying at the University of New
South Wales, Sydney, after having accused him of plotting to assassinate
Australian politicians, reports the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
(ABC).
Nizamdeen’s lawyer has threatened to take legal action against the police.
He was arrested in August and accused of writing in a notebook about plans to kill former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his former deputy Julie Bishop.
Thereafter, prosecutors conceded a handwriting expert could not prove he had written the notes in the notebook.
Australian Police yesterday dropped the charge of collecting or making documents likely to facilitate terrorist acts after “definitive advice” on the handwriting in the notebook was received on Thursday.
ABC further reports: Speaking outside court on Friday,Nizamdeen’s lawyer Moustafa Kheir said the process had taken a toll on the student, who spent a month in a maximum-security prison after being charged.
“He’s gone through super max jail — unforgivable circumstances.”
Police had alleged Nizamdeen possessed a blueprint to target several “symbolic” Sydney locations, after officers from NSW’s Joint Counter-Terrorism Team (JCTT) arrested him at Kensington in Sydney’s south-east in August.
Police had alleged the blueprints were found in a notebook in a desk that Nizamdeen used at the University of New South Wales.
His arrest and time in jail sparked protests in his Sri Lankan hometown as well as concerns from classmates at The University of New South Wales. Kheir said Nizamdeen would be suing the police for compensation.
“We are seeking justice through every avenue we can,” he said.
Speaking on Friday, NSW Police Counter-Terrorism Assistant Commissioner Michael Willing declined to comment on the legal threat, calling it a matter for Nizamdeen’s lawyers and family.
