Mohammad Siddiqui is a former British medical doctor who was struck off the Medical Registry 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 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 will be sentenced by Judge Noel Lucas of Southwark Crown Court on 14 January 2025.[1]
In an important precedent, Judge Sir James Mumby ruled that male circumcision is male genital mutilation and causes "significant harm."[2]
