This is an urgent appeal to all national and international human rights
organizations to intervene with the British authorities in order to honour
their infomitment to all the international conventions and agreements to
which they are signatories. This is required so as to guarantee that my
husband does not get extradited and handed over to the Libyan authorities,
as he is likely to be subjected to the death sentence and/or tortured
because of his political activities against the Qaddafi regime.
It is a well known fact that the Qaddafi regime has been trying hard in
conjunction with the British Government to facilitate the extradition of
members of the Libyan opposition who have already been granted political
asylum and indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
This has been achieved through a [so-called] "Memorandum of Understanding"
which is not even worth the paper on which it was written and has no
international validity whatsoever, as it is neither binding nor does it
provide any guarantee that extradited persons are not subjected to
torture, banishment or even the death sentence.
This is so because the Libyan regime has never respected any of the
international conventions and agreements on human rights and freedom of
expression to which it has been signatory for decades.
My husband has now been in detention for over 12 months and has not been
charged with any criminal offences in the UK.
He had entered the UK and applied for political asylum in early 2004. He
subsequently won an appeal and has been waiting to be granted indefinite
leave to remain in the UK. He was born in 1975 and we have two daughters.
I appeal to all human rights 0ganizations to support my husband in his
ordeal. The first court (SIAC) session to look into my husband's case will
be on 30-10-06.
