The man's lawyer said the accused doctor from the West Bank is involved in peaceful activism and was entrapped by British intelligence.
A Palestinian man was arrested in Scotland on terrorism charges related to his alleged involvement with an Irish nationalist group, British media outlets reported this week, though his lawyers claim he was entrapped.
A man from Northern Ireland is accused of recruiting a Palestinian doctor living in Scotland to help an Irish Republican Army (IRA) group cultivate relations with governments “hostile to the UK,” the Belfast Telegraph reported on Tuesday. Their arrests are part of a British intelligence operation against the Irish organization.
