Terrorist’s lawyer claims government broke law by not providing key report A convicted terrorist’s lawyers have slammed the government for not handing over a report he claims debunks the 'pseudoscience' used to keep him locked up.

(NCA NewsWire) The former government’s alleged failure to hand over a key report represents an “incredibly serious” breach of the law, a convicted terrorist’s lawyer has claimed.

Benbrika was jailed for 15 years in 2009 for leading a terror cell of radicalised young men in Melbourne and planning terror attacks.
