Anyone else hoping he’s put in general population when he’s incarcerated?
Via Daily Mail:
Hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza is to be booted out of Britain within days after Euro judges tonight rejected his final appeal against extradition.
The ruling brings an end to a legal saga which has lasted eight years and cost the UK taxpayer more than £1million.
Hamza, whose vile sermons outside the Finsbury Park Mosque earned him global notoriety, is wanted by the U.S. authorities for plotting to set up a jihadi training camp in Oregon.
Hamza and four other alleged terrorists had complained that jail terms of up to 50 years in the U.S without parole breached their human right to be protected from ‘inhuman or degrading treatment’.
In April, the European Court of Human Rights – after two years of hugely expensive deliberation – rejected this argument.
Tonight, judges also threw out this bid. There are now no more legal steps the men can take in Europe to halt extradition.
Whitehall officials said he would be put on a plane to America ‘as soon as possible’.
