Abu Qatada cannot be deported to Jordan, European judges rule The court ruled that key diplomatic assurances received meant there would be no violation of Article Three which bans the use of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment. It also said there would be no violation of Article Five, the right to liberty and security and no violation of Article 13, the right to an effective remedy. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said: "I am disappointed that the court has made this ruling. This is not the end of the road, and we will now consider all the legal options available to us. In the meantime, Qatada will remain in detention in the UK. It is important to note that this ruling does not prevent us seeking to deport other foreign nationals. Shami Chakrabarti, director of the campaign group Liberty, called for Qatada to be put on trial in Britain. "The court found that torture and evidence obtained that way is widespread in that country so it is clear that if Abu Qatada is to be tried for terrorism, this should happen in a British court without further delay," she said.
