Victory over appeal for terror student
Published Date:

A FORMER student jailed for terrorism offences won an early victory yesterday in an appeal against his conviction.
Mohammed Atif Siddique, 22, of Clackmannanshire, lodged several grounds of appeal, but leave was given for just one to be taken forward to a hearing at the Court of Criminal Appeal.
Yesterday, however, the court agreed to reinstate two grounds. The case was continued for six weeks and the defence counsel, Donald Findlay, QC, indicated that at the next hearing Siddique would ask to be released pending the full appeal, which may not be heard until next year.
