“Muslim leader takes Norway to European rights court: lawyer”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “OSLO, Aug 5, 2008 (AFP) - Mullah Krekar, founder of radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam, has filed charges with Europe’s human rights court against Norway, where he lives, for ‘inhuman treatment,’ his lawyer said Tuesday.

‘We lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in April,’ Brynjar Meling told AFP, confirming a report in the Verdens Gang daily. ‘The complaint is currently being handled,’ he added.

Krekar has lived in Norway as a refugee since 1991, but has been under threat of deportation since Norwegian media revealed he was the founder of Ansar al-Islam, which figures on the United States’ list of terrorist groups.

Norway’s Supreme Court on November 8 upheld previous court rulings and a 2003 decision by Norwegian authorities to expel Krekar from the Scandinavian country, claiming he was a threat to national security.

Norwegian law however prevents Krekar, whose real name is Fateh Najmeddin Faraj, from being deported to his homeland until the situation in Iraq improves.

The Iraqi Kurd, who himself figures on a United Nations list of terrorist groups or individuals, admits that he founded the group but insists he has not headed it since May 2002.”
