A TOP judge provoked outrage yesterday when he blocked
Government attempts to deport a “depressed” Algerian terror suspect amid fears
the man may kill himself.Britain’s most senior immigration judge invoked human rights laws to spare the man – who does not dispute claims he poses a risk to national security – after hearing he may not be put on suicide watch while in Algerian custody.
The move means the 43-year-old man, known only
as G, can stay in the UK at taxpayers’ expense despite being accused of funding
Islamists trying to overthrow his home government and supporting international
terrorists in this country.
Last week, six Britons were killed during a
siege at the In Amenas gas plant in southern Algeria by armed jihadists of the
kind allegedly supported by the terror suspect.
Details of the ruling by Mr Justice Mitting
sparked uproar. It comes two months after the same judge provoked a huge public
outcry by blocking the deportation of Jordanian hate preacher Abu Qatada.

The good judge earns himself a LoonyTunesWatch coconut. (Why is it that more judges gain this coveted award than even politicians?)
