Abu Hamza - Extradition Legal!

Thanks be to God that at last Abu Hamza is going to be extradited at last as the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) gives their approval. Along with Hamsa we will also be sending along a few others, including Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled Al Fawwaz.

The decision means that the extradition of the men, wanted for years by the US, is likely to happen within weeks.

By rejecting the appeal the ECHR has confirmed the decision made by them this April thus:

"The European Court of Human Rights held, in the case of Babar Ahmad and Others v. the United Kingdom, that there would be no violation of the applicants' rights if extradited to stand trial in the United States. On 9/10 July 2012, five of the applicants lodged a request for referral of the case to the Grand Chamber. Today the Grand Chamber Panel decided to reject the request. This means that the Chamber judgment of 10 April 2012 is now final."

So, thankfully, our nation has maintained the rule of law and acted as it right and fitting, for this is how we do it, not using wrong or illegal means. We have not descended into the same behaviour of those against whom we contend and should feel proud that justice and right have prevailed.

So glad we didn't listen to those who just told us to cop a deaf 'un and send him anyway :-)
