Answer

Abu Qatada's deportation to Jordan was blocked in 2012 by the European Court of Human Rights due to concerns that evidence obtained through torture would be used against him in Jordan. The court ruled that his deportation would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits inhuman or degrading treatment.
