Burka-Clad Fugitive Faces 20 Charges

A suspect who escaped surveillance by dressing in a burka was facing 20 charges for breaching different terrorism prevention orders, it has emerged.

Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who is the subject of a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure (Tpim), disappeared from a London mosque last Friday by disguising himself as a woman.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest after he failed to appear at the Old Bailey for proceedings concerning alleged breaches of the Tpim and an older control order.

Mohamed - who reportedly trained and fought for the al Qaeda-linked Somali group al Shabaab - is charged with six counts on one indictment, concerning breaches of his Tpim.

It is alleged he failed to report to Acton police station, as required by the order, on December 22 to 25 and December 27 to 28.

He faces a further 14 counts on the second indictment relating to breaches in 2011 of a control order, the predecessor to Tpims.

Among the charges, it is alleged he failed to report to a monitoring company, failed to report to Ipswich police station, met a person without agreement of the Home Office and used an unauthorised mobile phone.

Mohamed is currently seeking damages from the Government in a human rights legal challenge involving allegations of torture.

The 27-year-old and another man, referred to as "CF", allege that the British authorities were complicit in their detention and torture in 2011 while they were in Somaliland.

Their claim is against the Foreign Office, Home Office, Ministry of Defence and the Attorney General, who all deny the allegations.

But James Eadie QC, appearing for the Government, said Mohamed it could be an abuse of process to allow him to continue the damages claim.

Mr Eadie said the case raised the question "whether it is abusive for someone in Mr Mohamed's position to invoke the courts' jurisdiction as a claimant whilst denying that jurisdiction by absconding".

Mohamed's solicitor Gareth Peirce told the court she had "no reason for the defendant's non-appearance".

Ms Peirce said Mohamed was forcibly removed from Somalia to this country with the "involvement of the security services here".

Outside court, Ms Peirce said: "We have the most serious concerns in relation to a young man who was hideously tortured in Somalia for two months, was forcibly and illegally deported to this country and where the question has been repeatedly raised of the complicity of the British authorities and the security services in that unlawful removal."

Mohamed is due to stand trial for the alleged breaches of the terrorism prevention orders on April 28 next year.

The hunt for Mohamed currently includes the Metropolitan Police's counter terrorism command, MI5 and the UK Border Force.
