Answer
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the continent’s top human rights court, denied the appeal of Abu Qatada, a radical Islamist cleric who was wanted in Jordan on terrorism charges. The court ruled that Qatada would face a fair trial in Jordan and his human rights would not be violated. This decision cleared the way for the UK government to deport Qatada to Jordan.
