My next move by falsely-accused Carshalton terror suspect Al Sarraj


In an ideal world Mr Al Sarraj might fight for compensation, but justice in war is slow and for the 29-year-old still adjusting to life away from the camp, the most important thing now is moving on.

Mr Al Sarraj said: “I think they made a mistake and tried to cover it up. I need more justice, but I don’t know what I will do yet. The problem is, everyone blamed someone else or blamed it on ‘procedure’.

“I think every system in the world is not absolute. The system there was unfair, but who can I point the finger at?

“I really don’t wish this on anybody.”

Sitting next to Shereen at the dining room table in his Carshalton home, Mr Al Sarraj relaxes and grows more confident when he speaks about his future.

He envisages doing a PhD, finding work and most importantly enjoying married life and doing up the house he had bought with Shereen days before he was arrested.

But most of all, he wants to forget.
