Convicted terrorist allowed to stay in Britain on human rights grounds after court overturns Home Office ban
A convicted terrorist who has banned from Britain has been stopped from being deported on human rights grounds by judges who overturned the ban on him being in the country.
The Muslim man was found guilty of terrorism in Tunisia and has already been extradited once to Italy, where he was accused of being involved in helping to send Islamists to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is understood that Home Secretary Theresa May ordered that the terrorist be kept out of the country because his presence would not be 'conducive to the public good for reasons of national security'.

There is no ‘British legal system’.
There are English/Welsh. Scottish, NI and systems for the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
Scots law is famously different for example.

A Scot won’t call himself a Brit. While I said British, I should have said English. The other tribal legal systems are, to my understanding, little better.
Many Scots, inc myself, are proud to be both Scottish and British.
Britain is not England. Common mistake.
Britain is England, Scotland, NI, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands and the Scilly Isles. Britain is a state made of up of the four countries and those islands.
