Shaheen Rahman has appeared as Special Advocate on behalf of a Claimant subject to a TPIM (Terrorist Prevention and Investigation Measures) in CF v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2013] EWHC 843 (Admin).

Mr. Justice Wilkie held that the measures restricting the Claimant’s ability to have social contact with others on his university must impose a chilling effect on CF’s participation in the life of a student without any apparent beneficial effect on national security.

An appeal against a similar restriction has previously been successful in the case of AM v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2012] EWHC 1854(Admin), another long running case in which Shaheen is instructed as special advocate.
