In the eight years Ahmad has been held without charge, a situation that has developed that MPs of all parties to call Kafkaesque

interview last night the BBC in a high security prison with Babar Ahmad, who is wanted for extradition to the United States on terrorism charges, the government is faced once again with a suitcase full of embarrassing questions for the Metropolitan Police. And Minister of Justice Ken Clarke, highlights the challenge of how to justify holding a man in a maximum security prison for eight years when he faces no charges in the UK. Clarke may be silently praying that next Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights to act as Ahmad can not be extradited to the United States, and therefore, the British courts, after all you can hear the case.

Ahmad had no illusions that the interview was his "last chance to convince the authorities" and directly asked the Director of Public Prosecutions for trial in the UK, here and now, and his family have asked numerous times.

In the center of the case of the United States against Ahmad is the evidence that was not seen by the British court before being sent to the U.S. - A situation described in parliament last week by both the Conservative MP Dominic Raab and Labour MP Andy Slaughter as Kafka (and reiterated by Green MP Caroline Lucas in the program last night from the BBC). Certainly not the only ones who want to know why this happened.

The Metropolitan Police - the same agency that took the evidence and sent directly to the U.S. without showing it to the Crown Prosecution Service - caused more than 70 separate injuries on Ahmad during his detention at the end of 2003, when he was released without charge. Has anyone thought at the time of his extradition to the United States under the new expedited procedures have a problem trying to repair properly police the road safely?

In fact, while in 2004, the prosecutors concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge him here (that is, we now know, was only a small percentage of it) also concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge a police officer of assaulting him. This decision was reversed a few years later. In March 2009, in a civil case, the Met liability admitted and paid substantial damages Ahmad £ 60,000 for his injuries. In the years that Ahmad was imprisoned, lost his marriage and his work. The UK has continued for several people on terrorism charges linked to extremist websites, some of them have Web sites, organized in the United States, in the center of the charges against Ahmad, his lawyers say.

extradition laws of the United States and the United Kingdom introduced by the Labour Party after 9/11 have become a major concern in parliament, and in this case highlights once again. A U.S. campaign to suggest that there is no difference in standards between the two countries was a gear for a while, and was deployed again by the spokesman for various States States of the BBC yesterday, confusing the issue. But, as Menzies Campbell, himself a lawyer, said in one of the many interviews dominated by the spokespersons of the United States, this is not true. Words
