FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Court of Appeal, had previously rejected the idea that they could be
relied on in a Libyan case and they are still likely to be challenged on a
country by country basis.
The European Court ruled that Qatada could not be deported to Jordan if there
were a real risk that he would be tortured or subjected to inhuman or
degrading treatment, according to Article Three of the convention.
It said that reports of United Nations bodies and human rights organisations
showed that the Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate (GID) routinely
used torture against suspected Islamist terrorists and that “no protection
against that was provided by the courts or any other body in Jordan”.
It said he belonged to a category of prisoners at risk of ill-treatment and he
claimed already to have been tortured when he lived in Jordan.
However, the court also found that the diplomatic agreement between the two
governments was “specific and comprehensive” and had the approval of King
Abdullah.
“The assurances were given in good faith by a Government whose bilateral
relations with the United Kingdom had, historically, been strong,” it said.
“They had been approved at the highest levels of the Jordanian Government,
with the express approval and support of the King himself. They also had the
approval and support of senior GID officials.”
The judgment said that Qatada’s high profile would make the Jordanian
authorities careful to ensure he was properly treated and any ill-treatment
would have serious consequences for Jordan’s relationship with the UK.
In addition, the assurances would be monitored by an independent human rights
organisation in Jordan, which would have full access to Qatada in prison.
