// Court of appeal rejects home secretary's attempt to overturn decision to block radical cleric's deportation

The home secretary, Theresa May, has lost her latest legal attempt to deport the radical Islamist cleric Abu Qatada back to Jordan.

The court of appeal rejected her attempt to overturn a ruling by the British special immigrations appeals commission (Siac) blocking Qatada's return to Jordan to stand trial on the grounds that he faced a real risk of evidence obtained by torture being used against him.

The home secretary's appeal was rejected unanimously by three appeal court judges including the master of the rolls, Lord Dyson. //

Hey ho?

Maybe they should get rid of his wife and 5 children first as they entered the country illegally. Then Abu Qatada can do the decent thing and join them.

His wife and children claimed asylum which was granted in June 1994. They are legally entitled to stay here.

Qatada has never been charged with any crime, a jury has never sentenced him to anything.

So what if he is tried with evidence obtained by torture? Who cares? It shouldn't be our concern, it's irrelevant. Just get rid, the end.
