Babar Ahmad is a 37-year-old British Muslim and the longest detained-without-charge British detainee held as part of the global ‘war on terror’. Babar’s parents migrated to the UK from Pakistan.

On the 4 May 2011, four Metropolitan Police officers went on trial accused of a sustained and violent attack on a terror suspect.
