Terror suspect Abu Qatada today won his appeal against deportation to Jordan to face trial and will be released tomorrow after being granted bail.

It’s a huge setback for the Government which has been trying to get him out of the UK for a decade.

The radical cleric, once described by a judge as Osama Bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, has been fighting extradition to Jordan, where he was convicted of terror charges in his absence in 1999.

An immigration appeals court blocked the deportation because judges were not convinced that no evidence obtained through torture would be used against Qatada in Jordan.

Special Immigration Appeals Commission judges said the British government ‘has not satisfied us that …there is no real risk’ that statements obtained under torture would not be used at a trial abroad.

Qatada – whose lawyers had previously insisted that he would not get a fair trial in Jordan – was allowed to stay in Britain in 1994, but the Government desperately wants him deported.

  1. By fair do they mean one where the evidence is weighed before guilt is decided, or do they mean one where there is a possibility that he will be convicted.

  2. Amputate him. Gouge his eyes. Failure to do so will result in eternal damnation. Islam destroys itself in Syria. Which Allah did he worship, the Sunni Allah, or the Shia Allah? After all, there are two Allahs.

  3. He is a known terrorist! Why does the leftist bleeding hearts love him so much did after all assist with the deaths of innocent people the justice system is letting the British people down this what the taxpayers dollars are going keeping this fucker in the country and the asshole is thumbing its nose at you all .

  4. one man gets tortured to save thousands and families can get closure. oh dear what a tragedy for the bearded clam, deport him without delay along with his bleedin heart groupies, let them rot in jail along with this scum.
