Read our privacy policy Three convicted terrorists including the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber have been found guilty of attacking a prison officer in Belmarsh’s high security unit. He was suspected of being the “amir” or “leader” of a group of Islamist terrorist inmates inside Belmarsh’s “prison within a prison,” Woolwich Crown Court heard. All three prisoners denied assault causing actual bodily harm to Mr Edwards but were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday by a jury after around three and a half hours of deliberations. In a closing speech, he said: “I don’t think we get treated like other prisoners.” When Abedi appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to answer the charge that he assaulted Mr Edwards, he said: “I did assault that filthy pig, but I don’t see any wrongdoing.” Asked about the second charge, he was said to have replied: “Same as before, I don’t see any wrongdoing.” At a later Crown Court appearance, Hassan told a judge: “I hate you very much, you are an evil man.”
