Ahmed Mohamed demands $15m compensation and written apology for homemade clock arrest

Lawyers for the teenager's family said they will file a civil suit in 60 days if officials fail to comply


Lawyers for the teenager's family said they will document a common suit in 60 days if authorities neglect to comply.

The group of Ahmed Mohamed, the Texan schoolboy who was arrested in the wake of taking a hand crafted clock to school, has requested $15m in remuneration and composed conciliatory sentiments from the neighborhood leader and police boss. 



In letters sent on Monday, the lawyers said if the City of Irving and Irving School District did not consent to the statements of regret and remuneration, they would document a common activity. 

"Ahmed never undermined anybody, never made damage anybody, and never proposed to. The special case who was harmed that day was Ahmed, and the harms he endured were not in view of oversight or inadequacy," said the letter to the city powers. 


"The school and city authorities included realized what they needed to do to protect Ahmed's rights. They simply decided not to do it." 

The young person stood out as truly newsworthy in September after he was confined when he took a custom made clock to school. A teacher reached police in the wake of asserting the clock resembled a bomb. 

The young person and his dad guaranteed he had been a casualty of Islamophobia. 

After he was captured, the 14-year was consequently welcomed to the White House by Barack Obama who tweeted about his "cool clock".

The adolescent later met Mr Obama when he went to a science evening at the White House, but without his clock. 

His family later uncovered they were moving to Qatar, subsequent to tolerating a welcome from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. 

The two letters sent by the Laney and Bollinger law firm and initially reported by ABC, asked for a composed conciliatory sentiment from Irving's Mayor Beth Van Duyne, who had shielded the activities of the staff at MacArthur High School, and Police Chief Larry Boyd. 

The letters requested $10m to be paid to the family by the City of Irving, and $5m from the school locale. 

The letters said if authorities neglected to comply with the solicitations, the law firm would record a suit. There was no quick reaction from the police division or the city.
