A New South Wales University student accused of plotting to assassinate Australian politicians has been released on bail, after an expert found the sole piece of evidence couldn\u2019t be connected to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mohamed Kamer Nizamdeen, 25, was arrested in August after a colleague found a notebook allegedly containing details of plans to kill Malcolm Turnbull and his former deputy Julie Bishop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Nizamdeen has spent four weeks in jail facing a terror charge \u2013 his family and supporters have maintained he is innocent.<\/p>\n

Last week, hundreds of people gathered in his hometown in Sri Lanka to protest his treatment in prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prosecution has become aware that an expert handwriting examiner found an inconclusive result on the relevant entries contained in the notebook,\u201d prosecutor Ms Choy told the Central Local Court in Sydney.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a conclusive expert opinion suggesting the defendant was the relevant author, evidence for the charge has been significantly weakened.<\/p>\n

The alleged list of targets also included the former speaker Bronwyn Bishop, the Sydney Opera House, major train stations and police stations across the Harbour City.<\/p>\n

Mr Nizamdeen\u2019s lawyer said police had conducted eight hours of interviews with the student which also did not uncover anything against the suspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be continuing to fight until all charges are dropped and he\u2019s completely exonerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Kheir said his client wanted to \u201cpass on some appreciation\u201d for the support he\u2019s been receiving.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe especially wanted to pass on a thank you to his colleagues at the University of New South Wales.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detectives allege the Sri Lankan national was acting on his own, and despite police telling a media conference he appeared to be an Islamic State affiliate, they had not charged him with being a member of a terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n

The court heard other material belonging to Mr Nizamdeen \u2013 like his computer, mobile, and other documents \u2013 did not show he had any extremist ideology.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo extremist ideology material has been located on devices found in possession of Mr Nizamdeen,\u201d Ms Choy said.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said the NSW Police Commissioner had also submitted a confidential affidavit to verify these circumstances.<\/p>\n

The matter has been adjourned to October.<\/p>\n
