Video: Theresa May: 'I believe Qatada will get a fair trial in Jordan' Soon after Qatada's flight took off, Theresa May, the Home Secretary gave a series of television interviews calling for radical legal reforms to make it easier to deport criminals from Britain. "Im as frustrated as everybody is about how long it's taken to deport Abu Qatada, we've got there in the end, but we need to make changes to our appeals processes, which we will do later this year in the immigration bill," Ms May said. The Home Secretary also reiterated assurances that Mr Qatada would receive a fair trial in Jordan, saying: "Our special immigration court said they were sure the Jordanian government would bend over backwards to ensure that he received a fair trial." The 53-year-old muslim cleric was deported from Britain after an eight year legal battle to send him to Jordan where he faces terrorism charges.
