Britain plans to deport some terror suspects
 LONDON: Britain said on Wednesday it planned to deport some foreign terror suspects to their home countries after senior judges ruled the government's decision to detain them without trial was unlawful. Home Secretary (interior minister) Charles Clarke told the Times newspaper Britain was seeking deals with several North African countries to allow suspects to be deported without risk of being tortured or sentenced to death in their home nations. "I think we should be prosecuting much more energetically our ability to deport the individuals concerned to the countries from which they come, in all these particularly cases from North Africa. We are actively pursuing that," said Clarke. Britain's Law Lords ruled last month against the indefinite detention of several men under legislation introduced after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.Posted by: Fred 2005-01-20 |
