London (dailynewyorknews) – A British minister travels to Jordan and the United Kingdom looking for a way to deport a radical cleric freed by the authorities described as an inspiration to a hijacker on Sept. 11 and other terrorists, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.

The UK government believes that Abu Qatada as a threat to national security, but was excluded from his deportation to Jordan under European law because the evidence from torture could be used against him.

Interior Minister James Brokenshire goes to Jordan to seek assurances that this would alleviate these concerns.

Aymen Odeh, a Jordanian Minister of Legislative Affairs, told CNN that Abu Qatada to Jordan wanted to go home so he could be tried in person on charges of terrorism, it – and I would get a fair trial. Abu Qatada was convicted in absentia in Jordan for his involvement in terrorist plots after seeking asylum in Britain.

Meanwhile, the brother of Abu Qatada, Ibrahim Othman, said the clerk was an educated man, affectionate, who needs the right “to live in dignity”, where it ends.

Abu Qatada, 51, was released from maximum security prison in Long Lartin high bail on Monday, the UK Ministry of Justice said.

He was jailed in Britain for six years, while the government worked to deport him to Jordan, where he has citizenship.

“Everyone is united in its desire that this man deported,” said the spokesman of Interior Ministry said Tuesday. “This government will exhaust all remedies available to obtain a map of Qatada.

“By doing this, we will continue to negotiate with the Jordanians to see what we can give guarantees on the evidence used against Qatada in their courts. James Brokenshire will visit Jordan soon.”

Odeh said he was not an obstacle to Abu Qatada to Jordan, and that his trial would be fair, open to the public and not based on any evidence resulting from “acts harmful.”

“When he comes, he will be arrested, and the current charges were made in the absence will be terminated by law, and will start the process again,” said Odeh.

“However, no new research in both cases. It will have a fair trial, which showed no sign of defense, in both cases.”

Both may be treated by a court of state security, which has two military judges and one civil judge said. After the three judges ruled, the Supreme Court of Cassation, and then examine the case on its merits and reconsider the evidence.

The Supreme Court of Cassation is an independent tribunal that regularly reviews the verdicts, he said.

As for the accusation that Jordan might torture Abu Qatada, Odeh said: “These are all allegations, after the constitutional amendments come into force in October 2011, prohibits torture or any act prejudicial if physical or mental. to any prisoner, or even threaten to do so.

“Any statement that is harmful acts will not be used in court at all. Therefore, we can guarantee that you will have a fair trial, and be open to all to participate.”

Odeh said Jordan was concerned that the European Court of Human Rights did not take into account changes in its constitution, when it held that Britain could not deport him there.

Abu Qatada, who remains under restrictive conditions of bail, has denied the charges against him.

In a telephone interview with CNN Arabic, Othman said the family of his brother in the UK and Amman anxiously awaiting his release.

He urged Britain to lift many restrictions on the movement of Abu Qatada and contacts with your family, and called another which ultimately leads to “provide guarantees of a decent life and to protect your of life. ”

Othman dismissed media representations of him as “a dangerous man, or a radical terrorist.”

He said the release of Abu Qatada bail was clear evidence of his innocence, claiming that none of the charges against him had been tested in British courts or Jordan.

“I just want him to live a decent life. Abu Qatada is a scholar and a man of knowledge,” he said.

On Friday, an immigration court in the United Kingdom stated that the British government was short of time to justify the continued detention of Abu Qatada.

Justice John Edward Mitting ordered Abu Qatada released from prison under a series of restrictive conditions that requires him to stay home 22 hours a day, prohibited the use of computers, telephones or other electronic communications, and limitations of visitors according to a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.

Mitting gave the government some three months for progress or face forced to release Abu Qatada absolute.

However, a January 17 decision of the European Court of Human Rights stated that the deportation of Abu Qatada to Jordan would violate the European Convention on Human Rights, because the probability that the evidence obtained by torture is used against it. This would violate the right of Abu Qatada to a fair trial, the court ruled.

Abu Qatada – also known as Omar Othman – arrived in the UK in 1993 and applied for asylum claiming he was tortured by the Jordanian authorities. Arrived in the UK on a false passport UAE, according to court and claimed asylum for himself, his wife and three children.

The UK government has recognized as a refugee and allowed to stay in the country until 1998.

Abu Qatada applied to stay indefinitely, but if your application is pending, a Jordanian court sentenced him in absentia on charges related to two terrorist attacks in 1998, and a plot to plant bombs to coincide with the new millennium.

He was released briefly in 2005 after the repeal of the anti-terrorism law in which he was held. The British authorities ordered his arrest has renewed this year under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, according to the European Court of Human Rights.

The UK Government claims that Abu Qatada is a risk to national security, which raised funds for terrorist groups, including organizations linked to the former al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, and has publicly supported violent activities of these groups.
