The European Court of Human Rights has backed terror extraditions from the UK to the United States.

The Strasbourg court held there would be no violation of human rights for those facing life and solitary confinement in a supermax prison.

The court sanctioned the extradition of Abu Hamza, Babar Ahmad and three others.

Judges said they would consider further the case of another suspect because of mental health issues.

The court's ruling can still hypothetically be appealed to its final Grand Chamber - but in practice very few cases are reheard in that final forum.

The men have three months to try to persuade the Grand Chamber to reopen the entire case and examine it. If the men fail to launch an appeal, they will be extradited to the United States.

A spokesman for Babar Ahmad, who has been held for a record of nearly eight years without trial, said he would fight on against extradition.

THE MEN FACING EXTRADITION

Abu Hamza
Haroon Aswat - case adjourned
Babar Ahmad
Talha Ahsan
Adel Abdul Bary
Khaled al-Fawwaz

Last week, he appealed in a BBC interview to be charged and tried in the UK because his alleged crimes were committed here.

The European Court said there would be no breach of human rights if the men were to be held at ADX Florence, a Federal Supermax jail used for people convicted of terrorism offences.

Abu Hamza is unlikely to be held at that jail because of his disabilities. The court also held that the life sentences each man faces would not breach human rights.

But in one case, Haroon Aswat, judges said they could not yet give the go-ahead to extradition because they needed to see more submissions on his schizophrenia and how that would be treated were he sent to the US.

Good riddance IMO.
 
Hope he/they can't appeal this decision.
Good riddance. Hope he rots.
 
Aye good riddance, at least the yanks have the bottle to just lock them up and cut them off from the outside world.
 
Much as I hate the ideas seemingly put forward by the evil people named above, I can't say that I could ever agree with anyone being extradited / rendered to the USA; they have an absolutely appalling, barbaric prison system that would not be out of place in the dark ages and which makes all Americans little better than the people they are so keen to torture.

I refer you to The Angola Three :mad:
 
Well thing to do now, is put him on a plane with the others this very afternoon.
Save further courts, save further mess.
Just get rid of it, and start saving the taxpayers the money is it costing us to host these guys.

Once he is in the US they should withdraw Hanza's british passport, so he can't get back as well.
Let him reapply to Jordan who withdrew his passport as soon as he got to the UK, so they were shot of him forever.
 
About time this happened. Hope the stick them on a plane today. Just let me have the time and I can wave bye-bye.

Oh yes, I forgot, Abu Qatada should be stuck on a plane to Jordan today as well.

Good riddance to the lot of them.
 
Theres a typo in the title,

It should be 'Abu Hamza Execution backed by European Court' If only...

He wants to be tried in this damn country cos were a bunch of pussy push overs and the screwed up system will probably get him benefits for a car, house and flatscreen TV.

Off to the Supermax jail you go you piece of....

This ^

Althrough i don't like how easy the UK like giving their own people to the US at a drop of a hat. (See that website guy for example)

In this case i will make an exception. He'll be locked up for life with little to no access to the outside world. As he should be
 
IM not sure on some of them though - didnt that Babar Ahmad just run a website that just so happened to be used by a few nut jobs in afganistan?
None of them will get fair trials.
