Theresa May Loses Appeal Over Qatada Ruling

Home Secretary Theresa May has lost her appeal court challenge over a decision to block Abu Qatada's deportation.

Judges in the Court of Appeal refused to overturn a ruling made last November by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac).

Siac decided Qatada could not be sent to Jordan, where was convicted of terror charges in his absence in 1999, because of the risk evidence obtained through torture could be used against him.

Mrs May's legal team challenged the ruling at a recent hearing in London, arguing that he was "truly dangerous" and had escaped deportation through "errors of law".

But Lord Dyson, the Master of the Rolls, and two other judges unanimously rejected the argument.

The Home Office immediately declared: "This is not the end of the road" and vowed to keep working to deport the radical cleric.

Officials said: "We will consider the judgement on Abu Qatada carefully and plan to seek leave to appeal.

"In the meantime we continue to work with the Jordanians to address the outstanding legal issues preventing Abu Qatada's deportation."
