Family of a city-based businessman Roshan Jamal Khan, convicted for his alleged links with terror organisations by a Spanish court, on Tuesday claimed the Centre is neglecting them because they are Muslims. A special anti-terrorism court in Spain sentenced Roshan to eight and a half years imprisonment for being part of the group which planned terror attacks in Barcelona. Mehboob said Roshan has been falsely implicated in the case.
Benet Salellas, the lawyer representing Roshan Jamal Khan, an Indian resident who was convicted by Spain's National high court Audencia Nacional for eight-and-a-half years, confirmed to rediff.com that he will file a petition in the Spanish Supreme Court challenging the conviction.
"The material produced by the prosecution in court could not even damage a small door," says Farida, withholding her tears even as she maintains that the Spanish court has been "very unfair" to her husband.
Roshan Jamal Khan, from suburban Mumbai, was arrested from a mosque in Spain after morning prayers in January. His wife Farida and son Talha have been longing for news on Roshan's case. While there has been no response to letters written by Farida to the government, Spanish authorities too have not taken Roshan's case forward and he hasn't been produced in court even after spending more than 100 days in jail.
