Mohammed Alazawi, sentenced to nine years at Southwark Crown Court, carried out unsafe and illegal circumcisions on baby boys and older male children between October 2016 and January 2022. He admitted to 20 charges and was found guilty of an additional 20 offences, including fraud and administering prescription only medicines. As non-therapeutic male circumcision is unregulated, Alazawi deceived parents by posing as a doctor. His actions resulted in dangerous procedures that harmed his young patients and prompted a lengthy investigation by West Midlands Police.
Mohammed Alazawi, 54, was sentenced to nine years for carrying out multiple unsafe and illegal circumcisions across the UK, including in the West Midlands.
The charges included fraud, wounding with intent, and administering prescription only medicines, demonstrating the extent of Alazawi's criminal actions.
Alazawi misrepresented himself as a doctor, leading parents to consent to unsafe circumcisions on their children without medical qualifications.
The Crown Prosecution Service stated that the circumcisions were unlawful due to the unsafe methods employed, heightening risks to the patients.
