The law is flawed, says Lauri Love's father

An autistic man suspected of hacking into US government computer systems is to be extradited from Britain to face trial, a court has ruled.

Lauri Love, 31, who has Asperger's syndrome, is accused of hacking into the computer systems of the FBI, the US central bank and the country's missile defence agency.

Mr Love, from Stradishall, Suffolk, has previously said he feared he would die in a US prison if he was extradited.

He is allowed to appeal. After the ruling, Mr Love and his father spoke outside court.
