Terror suspect takes overdose
One of the recently released terror suspects has been treated in hospital after he took a drugs overdose.
The High Court was told today that Abu Rideh, who was freed from Broadmoor earlier this month, following the introduction of the new Prevention of Terrorism Act, had been admitted to a London hospital at the weekend. He has since been released.
Mr Rideh was one of ten terror suspects who had been detained under the now-expired terror laws, which the House of Lords had ruled were illegal. The ten suspects are now subject to the controversial 'control orders', which place restrictions on the movement and behaviour of suspects, which include electronic tagging, restrictions on the use of the internet and mobile phones and house arrest, in extreme cases. They are preparing to challenge the orders in court.
Mr Rideh's solicitor Gareth Pierce, reportedly described the overdose of pills as "serious". She was also reported as saying that four of the detainees had been involved in "acute psychiatric or other medical crises".
