But as his future hung in the balance people from across the world came together and in a show of solidarity signed a petition for his immediate release. The following are a selection of messages family, friends and others who did not even know him wrote in his support.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Mother BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>I am the mother of Ahmed Diini, these people placed our feet into small sized shoes- we are unable to walk properly or go anywhere. Nowhere is safe, the only place that is safe is in Allah (swt) hands. You are sitting in Allah (swt) hands safely. I love you so much. Do not worry at all insa Allah.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Brother BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>He is my older brother and the MI5 played a key role in everything that happened to him before and after his arrest in Egypt. My brother is a VICTIM of the so called War on Terror.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/99834205" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">S</a>ister&nbsp;BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>FREE MY BROTHER! He is innocent and has been subjected to several years of bullying and harassment by the British secret service. While living in Egypt, he was picked up by security forces. After seven months in detention, he was released since the local authorities could not find any charge to bring against him.</p><p>However, he immediately flew back to his home country (Netherlands), only to be rearrested enroute in Turkey.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Friend of the family MISSISSAUGA, CANADA</li></ul><p>I have met the dear wife of this man and her child. This was so unbelievable when it happened that no one could believe it. We all lived in the same city, it was considered so safe and peaceful but it was the will of Allah. I cried because this could have happened to any of us. We need to continue support for this family and all families who are being dragged down and hurt due to bogus charges and imprisonment. Turkey needs to be a country with a back bone and let this man go home to his two sons and wife!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/99777135">S</a>upporter&nbsp;SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE</li></ul><p>This man is surely innocent of the crimes that were instigated against him. The only reason why he was arrested was because he is a Muslim who testifies that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. He committed no crime and thus deserves to be protected by his Muslim brothers from being handed over to the US authorities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/23720989">S</a>upporter&nbsp;NORWICH, UK, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>Abuse of power affects us all, and this case is just one of many. While many seem to think people become terrorists through a false interpretation of Islam, it is often the other way round - the War on Terror is actually making people angry and desperate enough to commit acts of wanton violence.</p><p>Ahmed Diini is a victim of injustice as he spent many months of hash Egyptian prison. Ahmed is a EU citizen and very shameful that to extradite to USA for our citizens as we could have justice within our EU systems.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/55794099">S</a>upporter&nbsp;COVENTRY, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>As a Dutch national, hearing how someone just like me is being held in prison with no evidence produced against him is very worrying. Being tortured on top of it is totally inhumane. Having heard of this happening many times before, I would like to support all the action that is being taken to help such victims of these unjust systems.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/99468815">S</a>upporter&nbsp;LUHANSK, UKRAINE</li></ul><p>I think its against human rights to exradite someone without proving his crimes.i think he has already suffered enough and remember hes got family..NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/99422925">S</a>upporter&nbsp;BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>We must not allow the violation of justice, and to prosecute an innocent is the violation of justice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/86685378">S</a>upporter&nbsp;BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>This one of many cases where governments have used inhumane methods and completely illicit ways to extract information. This man seems to have suffered enough. I hope the Turkish government does not add to his and his family&#39;s much endured pain.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/76927136">S</a>upporter&nbsp;HUDDERSFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>I abhor injustice and would like to voice my disgust at the treatment of Mr Dini at the hands of Egypt, UK and USA secret services in the full knowledge of the countries governments. Where is the evidence against Mr Dini??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/23181063">S</a>upporter&nbsp;WROUGHTON, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>We cannot allow the darker side of any country&#39;s politics to interfere with an innocent person&#39;s freedom and humanitarian rights.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.change.org/u/33362243">S</a>upporter&nbsp;BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM</li></ul><p>Because the freedom to refuse to spy or help an authority is every individuals right and should not incur this grave penalty for saying NO.</p>
