HUMAN RIGHTS FARCE: Terror suspects 'with al-Qaeda links' CAN'T be deported
A GROUP of six Algerian terror suspects can stay in Britain after winning a 10-year legal battle with the Government.
The six men, who cannot be deported, are said to have links to al-Qaeda
The men are deemed to be a threat to national security due to alleged links with depraved Islamist group al-Qaeda.
But an immigration court ruled there was a "real risk" they would be at risk of torture if they were deported to Algeria.
This would have violated Article 3 of the Human Rights Act, which guards against "torture or degrading or inhuman treatment".
The men are said to include associates of the notorious hate preacher Abu Hamza, who is serving a life sentence for terror-related offences.
Another is alleged to be a organiser for terror plots overseas with "direct links" to Osama Bin Laden, the Telegraph said.
But the Home Secretary Theresa May is not expected to challenge the controversial decision by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC).

The failed legal action, believed to have cost at least £1million, was described a "long and fraught" by the court.
And the cost of keeping the six suspects under surveillance could cost as much as £10million, according to reports
The Algerians, who who cannot be named for legal reasons, are now living in England on strict bail conditions.
Home Secretary Theresa May is not expected to challenge the decision
A Home Office spokesman last night condemned the ruling, saying: "We are extremely disappointed with SIAC's judgement.
"Our priority remains the safety and protection of the British public.
We will continue to take every measure possible to remove foreign nationals who we deem a risk."
