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]

Siddiqui had no adequate means of anaesthesia, so he caused his victims extreme pain.[1]

"Although he lost his license to practise medicine, he continued to perform non-therapeutic circumcision on young boys. 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.[1]

Sidiqui is alleged to have used a "rusty medical tool" and the Circumstraint infant immobilizer device that is considered unacceptable in practice by the National Health Service.[2]

Sidiqui will be sentenced by Judge Noel Lucas of Southwark Crown Court on 14 January 2025.[1]

In an important precedent, Judge Sir James Mumby (2015) ruled that male circumcision is male genital mutilation and causes "significant harm."[3]
