far Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 'Radical preacher Abu Qatada has been awarded £2,500 in compensation by the European Court of Human Rights. Judges ruled that his detention without trial in the UK under anti-terrorism powers breached his human rights' source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7898900.stm What do you think? He's not been charged for anything (innocent until proven guilty)and has been locked up for a long time without charge? Compensation justified. This is a p1ss take and will probably go down as one of the worst compensation 'rewards' of all time as he is a known radical who has spawned hatred against our way of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah, I read that this morning and thought it was an outrageous decision. Then I decided I know sod all about it and looked at red squirrels instead (don't ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Regardless of what I think of the person, the UK breached the ECHR's, so there could only be one result really. The powers that be in the UK probably balanced the risk of letting him go, with the threat of ending up in court for keeping him locked away, and decided that it was worth it. £2,500 in compensation is probably quite a good result for the extra time to question him and keep him locked up.

Animal Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i like red squirrels:) A mate went to the nature reserve in Formby the other weekend and apparently a large number of the reds there have died of the pox. The immigrants are to blame yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The CPS could have put him on trial in the first place. This country cannot preach justice & democracy for all if it's going to be the 51st state of America and detain people indefinetly without trial. Anyway isn't this bloke being deported to some tin pot dictatorship who want to kill him rather slowly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
