Othman (Abu Qatada) v. United Kingdom was a 2012 judgment of the European Court of Human Rights which stated that under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights the United Kingdom could not lawfully deport Abu Qatada to Jordan, because of the risk of the use of evidence obtained by torture.〔(ECtHR judgment: "CASE OF OTHMAN (ABU QATADA) v. THE UNITED KINGDOM" ), 17 Jan 2012〕 ==Summary and final disposition== The ECtHR judgment overturns the 2009 House of Lords judgment RB (Algeria) v Secretary of State for the Home Department.〔(publications.parliament.uk: 2009 UKHL 2 )〕〔(ukhumanrightsblog.com: "No deportation for Abu Qatada, but where are we now on torture evidence? – Professor Adam Tomkins" ), 19 Jan 2012〕 This case involved Deportation; Inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; Jordan; Memorandums of understanding; Retrials; Right to fair trial; Right to liberty and security; Torture. Othman, aka Qatada, was born in Jordan and came to the United Kingdom in September 1993. He made an application for asylum and was recognised as a refugee on 30 June 1994 and granted leave to remain to 30 June 1998. On 8 May 1998 he applied for indefinite leave to remain. On 23 October 2002 he was arrested and detained under the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. This Act was repealed in March 2005 and the applicant was released on bail and subjected to a control order. On 11 August 2005, while his appeal against that control order was pending, the Secretary of State served the applicant with a notice of intention to deport. Qatada was eventually deported from the UK to face retrial in Jordan not before a binding agreement between the two countries that evidence-obtained-by-torture would be discarded. In the event, it was discarded, and Qatada was freed of all charges in September 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Othman (Abu Qatada) v. United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
