Amaaz has been charged with two counts of causing actual bodily harm, one charge of assaulting an emergency worker and one charge of common assault. Amaad is charged with causing actual bodily harm, the Crown Prosecution Service said. It also issued a statement saying that no police officers were face criminal charges over their actions.
Amaaz and Amaad are due to appear at Liverpool magistrates court on January 16 next year. “Following our review of an incident at Manchester Airport in July 2024, the Crown Prosecution Service has today issued charges against two individuals”, said Frank Ferguson, Head of the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, in a statement.
"This was a high-profile incident that attracted significant public interest and media coverage at the time, and we have worked closely from the outset with investigators from the Independent Office for Police Conduct and Greater Manchester Police. “We have reviewed all the available evidence, including witness statements, video footage, expert reports and other material related to police use of force, to make an independent and objective assessment about whether it is appropriate to present charges for the court to consider.
