Extradition of Abu Hamza and four others for terrorism offences can go ahead EU court rules

The judges gave a final ruling on six extradition cases in a verdict which effectively passed judgment on whether America's treatment of terrorist suspects amounts to "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" in breach of the European human rights code.

Human rights judges have this morning ruled the Government can lawfully extradite radical preacher Abu Hamza

to America to face terrorist charges.
The judges gave a final ruling on six extradition cases in a verdict which effectively passed judgment on whether America's treatment of terrorist suspects amounts to "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" in breach of the European human rights code.
 They decided it would be lawful for five of the six to be jailed for the rest of their lives in a so-called 'super-max' prison.
The ruling stated that the five, including radical preacher Abu Hamza, would not be subject to "ill-treatment" at ADX Florence, a so-called 'super-max' prison. The court adjourned its decision on Haroon Rashid Aswat pending consideration of further complaints lodged by him.
The ruling granted the men the right to appeal to the court's Grand Chamber, meaning any extradition could be some time away.
