Ex-doctor Mohammad Siddiqui, 58, used rusty tool for circumcision

Appalling. An extract from the BBC article:

“Mr Siddiqui often began procedures just “a few minutes” after administering anaesthetic cream, the prosecutor said.

The court heard that Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary and Avon and Somerset Police were involved in the investigation.

When interviewed by officers in 2019, the defendant said it was sometimes “difficult to know” why babies were crying and whether the cream was working, the court heard.

He told police he had carried out 1,200 to 1,500 such procedures since 2012, although the charges related to the years between 2014 and 2019, the court heard.”

  1. Of course the case won’t challenge the current turning a “blind eye” to the practice, there being an obvious problem with “consent” for babies and infants where the “best interest” rule is applied only based on arguments of “fitting in with a cultural expectation” rather than any medical necessity. However its good to see such cases get to court.
