Dr Mohammad Siddiqui (born 15 February 1966) is a former British medical doctor who was struck off the Medical Register in November 2013 for performing circumcision on boys in "dirty and unsafe conditions."[1] [2]
Siddiqui had no adequate means of anaesthesia, so he caused his victims extreme pain.[2]
Although he lost his license to practise medicine, he continued to perform non-therapeutic circumcision on young boys.
Contents
Application of criminal law to male circumcision
The Crown Prosecution Service brought 25 circumcision-related criminal charges against Siddiqui.[3]
"Siddiqui of Anchor Crescent, Birmingham, admitted twelve counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, eight counts of wrongly administrating a prescription only medicine, and five counts of cruelty to a person under sixteen." The charges relate to 21 boys and date between 5 April 2014 and 31 January 2019.[2]
Sidiqui is alleged to have used a "rusty medical tool" and the Circumstraint infant immobiliser device that is considered unacceptable in practice by the National Health Service.[4]
Sidiqui will be sentenced by Judge Noel Lucas of Southwark Crown Court on 14 January 2025.[2] Religion apparently did not constitute a defence.
Sidiqui was sentenced to a serve five years and seven months in prison for causing children "gratuitous pain and suffering".[5]
Precedent
In an important precedent, Judge Sir James Mumby (2015) ruled that male circumcision is male genital mutilation and causes "significant harm."[6]
Law professor Kai Möller has also reviewed this case.[7]
