Sciences ban for terror suspect


Mr Ayub said the science ban was one of many 'onerous' restrictions

A man under surveillance for suspected terrorist activities has been told he cannot take an AS-level science course because he might use it for terrorism.

The Iraqi national, who can only be named as "AE", was told his studies broke an anti-terrorism control order, said the man's lawyer.

Mohammed Ayub said the restriction was pointless as any knowledge in a science class was already in the public domain.

The Home Office said it was not prepared to comment on the case.
