Compensation award: a court ruled Ismail Abdurahman’s human rights had been breached Metropolitan Police
The Government has been ordered to pay for the £13,000 to a convicted terrorist after a European court ruled that his human rights had been “violated”.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Scotland Yard had voiolated Ismail Abdurahman’s rights to a fair trial and right to legal assistance during police interviews over a plot to attack London.
The ECHR ordered that €16,000 (£13,600) of Ismail Abdurahman’s legal costs must be paid as a seven-year court battle came to a head.
Abdurahman hid one of the failed bombers who attempted to launch a second round of atrocities on July 21 2005, just two weeks after the July 7 attacks that devastated London.
