Leading lawyers have voiced mixed feelings over the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) judgment that five Islamic extremists can be extradited to the US to stand trial on terrorism charges.
The Strasbourg court ruled on Tuesday that British nationals Abu Hamza, Babar Ahmad, Syed Tahla Ahsan, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz could serve life sentences without parole at an American ‘supermax’ prison without suffering a violation of their human rights.
The judges decided they needed more information about the mental health of sixth suspect Haroon Aswat before reaching a decision.
