An Islamist terrorist disciple of Abu Hamza will be freed from prison, even though he is still being declared a “risk of national security.”
Haroon Aswat, 50, is expected to return to his parental home in Yorkshire with a judge of the Supreme Court that he can be released in the 'relatively near future'.
It is, however, understood that the legal system was unable to fully assess him because of his mental health care.
He was imprisoned in the US in 2015 for 20 years after he admitted that he was trying to start a terrorist training camp in Oregon.
Aswat was visited by a British psychiatrist in America before being deported to Great Britain in 2022, where he stated: “I am a terrorist.”
He is linked to the 7/7 London Terror bombing of 52 people killed and has Also threatened to kill Jews, Christians and certain groups of Muslims.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp fears that he could still be a danger and told the sun: “Those who pose a danger to the public must be taken from our streets.”
Mr. Justice Robert Jay said that there was 'proof of a constant risk', but issued a notification order in his release.

It means that ASWAT must constantly inform the police about certain information and keep it up-to-date.
These details include their address, their foreign travel data and their vehicle registration.
Mr. Justice Jay concluded: 'These were very serious violations and there are indications for constant risk.
'A risk assessment with regard to terrorist violations is always inherently uncertain and is exacerbated in the present case by the mental instability of the defendant.
'In general, I am satisfied for the reasons that I have given that a reporting order must be given in all circumstances of this case.
“A psychiatrist has considered his treatment effective and his release of detention is expected in the relatively near future, with the concept that he will return to his family in Yorkshire.”
He added: 'No formal terrorist risk assessment has been carried out since the suspect returns here. The circumstances of his detention have excluded that.
“Based on the available material, however, the suspect was assessed by various police officers – including the senior officer who deals with this case – that he remains a risk for national security.”
Dr. Richard Taylor traveled to America in the summer of 2022 to prepare a report on ASWAT.
The report states that ASWAT made comments in 2017 about the prison staff to support Al Qaeda and threatened violence against them.

In 2022 he sent letters that made requirements and death threats, apparently motivated by a terrorist ideology.
Dr. Taylor concluded that he openly endorsed an extremist ideology, but there was no evidence that aswat was mentally ill.
However, he had had a limited opportunity to tackle the extremist mindset and showed properties of glibness, superficial charm, charisma, intelligence and elements of manipulativity and narcissism.
Even if he was mentally stable, he continued to express violent, extremist Islamic ideology, Dr. Taylor.
The diagnosis showed a schizoaffective disorder with symptoms that showed unpredictable and aggressive behavior.
Dr. Taylor has not completed a complete terrorist risk assessment, but identified 15 of the 22 relevant factors in the extreme risk issues of the government.
He concluded: 'There remains the risk of Islamic violent extremism motivated terrorist offensive behavior in view of his threats to kill Jews, Christians and certain groups of Muslims.
“There is also a risk that he influences other vulnerable individuals, such as when he is in an abnormal mental state, his religious extremist rhetoric is reinforced by mental disorders.”
A senior police officer, detective inspector Karen Bradley, who was involved in the case, concluded that Asbat, now 50, remains a risk for national security.
