Supreme Court says State must reconsider deportation of man linked to Islamic terrorism

The Supreme Court has ruled the Minister for Justice must reconsider a decision to remove from the State an Algerian man with alleged links to Islamic terrorism, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

There was "no reasonable basis" upon which any Minister could conclude there was no real risk of a breach of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights - the right not to be exposed to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment - if the man was returned to his native Algeria, the court said.
