Birmingham: A former doctor, Mohammad Siddiqui, has been sentenced to over five years in prison for performing unsafe circumcisions on children. His methods were not just questionable; they were downright dangerous.
He was doing these procedures at home, using unsterilised tools, which is just shocking. The court heard that some kids were left screaming in pain. Can you imagine?
Siddiqui pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including assault and child cruelty. He had been suspended and even struck off the medical register, but he kept going. It’s hard to believe he thought that was okay.
One child nearly died after a botched procedure, and others had to be rushed to the hospital. The judge was pretty clear that this kind of thing should never happen again. He emphasized the need for better regulations around circumcision.
During the trial, Siddiqui tried to delay things by making all sorts of complaints, but the judge saw right through it. He pointed out that Siddiqui’s victims were Muslim boys, which made his claims even more absurd.
After all this, Siddiqui changed his plea to guilty, but only after dragging the case on for months. He’s now facing a serious organized crime prevention order that will stop him from performing any circumcisions once he’s out of prison.
It’s a sad situation, really. The Crown Prosecution Service said Siddiqui left lasting scars on these kids, both physically and emotionally. The police hope this sentence brings some comfort to the families affected.
