Abu Hamza can be extradited to US, human rights court rules
Source: Guardian
Abu Hamza, the radical cleric who became the face of violent extremism in Britain, can be extradited to the US to face terrorism charges, the European court of human rights has ruled.
The court in Strasbourg said the human rights of Hamza and four other men held in Britain – Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdel Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz – would not be violated if sent to the US to stand trial. European judges decided they needed more information about the mental health of Haroon Aswat, an aide to Hamza, before reaching a decision on him.
The ruling clears the last realistic obstacle to Hamza's extradition.
The men have the right to appeal to the grand chamber of the European court and have three months to make an application.
