A High Court judge has come under fire after offering words of encouragement to a convicted terrorist linked to the 7/7 London bombings and the 9/11 attacks.
At a hearing ahead of Haroon Aswat's release from secure hospital detention, Sir Robert Jay told him to remain on his medication and 'keep out of the sort of things you were doing'. The remarks, made at the Royal Courts of Justice, drew sharp condemnation from politicians and victims' groups, who argued that such comments were inappropriate for someone with Aswat's record of extremism.
