The home secretary, Theresa May, is to make a renewed attempt to deport Abu Qatada after judges at the European court of human rightsrejected his appeal to the Strasbourg court.
May said: “I am pleased by the European court’s decision. The Qatada case will now go through the British courts. I am confident the assurances we have from Jordan mean we can put Qatada on a plane and get him out of Britain.”
A panel of five human rights judges ruled that the radical Islamist cleric’s lawyers, and not May, were right to claim that his appeal against deportation, lodged at 11.13pm on Tuesday 17 April, had been made within the three-month time limit.
