BBC Refuses to Hand Over Tape of Islamists - The Saviour Sect
In this weekend's Observer, the BBC is reported to be refusing to hand over a tape of the two main leaders of the Saviour Sect, also known as Al Ghuraaba. I am placing a complete transcript of the notorious programme in the next posting. It makes for very uncomfortable reading. The programme, produced by Newsnight, had excerpts broadcast around the world, and details the opinions of the two main protagonists of the organisations, Abu Izzadeen and Abu Uzair. Their twinned organisations emerged when the radical pro-jihadist group al-Muhajiroun was disbanded nearly a year ago.
The programme caused such controversy in the national UK press at the time, with demands that the pair should be jailed for treason. So far, nothing has happened to them. So now the Crown Prosecution Service has instructed the Metropolitan Police to obtain all the unedited footage made of the two radicals.
The CPS has considered bringing a number of charges against the two, including incitement to treason, solicitation of murder and incitement to withhold information known to be of use to police. The Met approached Newsnight requesting copies of the interviews earlier this month, but the programme declined to hand over the full material. However, it is believed to have offered transcripts of the broadcast.
On September 9th, a formal application was made to obtain the film, but on Saturday night, this weekend, the BBC has still refused, claiming journalistic integrity would be compromised.
The Sunday Times did an undercover report published on Sunday 7th August. The newspaper has since handed all its material to the police.
One of the sect's leaders was Omar Bakri Mohammed, now exiled in Lebanon, who said after the 7/7 bombings "For the past 48 hours, I'm very happy". Two weeks after that, he called the four suicide bombers, "The Fantastic Four".
The transcript of the Saviour Sect/Al Ghurabaa documentary can be found HERE.
