Abu Qatada: Government loses deportation appeal

Home Secretary Theresa May has lost her appeal against a ruling preventing the deportation of preacher Abu Qatada.

Last year, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission said the radical cleric could not be returned to Jordan.

Judges say he could face an unfair trial involving evidence obtained by torturing others.

The Home Office said it would seek to appeal, adding: "This is not the end of the road. The government remains determined to deport Abu Qatada."
