Good news for human rights activists and victims of abuses in the Arab world, especially those living in Britain: the British courts have ruled today that it is not possible to hand over Libyan nationals to the Libyan government, due to its being a government that not only has a horrifying human rights record but also lacks any credibility, whose leader, Qaddafi, cannot be trusted. This judgement is a severe blow to the British Prime Minister and the extremists in the British government who had relied on the memoranda of understanding that they had signed with Arab regimes, in particular with Algeria, Libya, and Jordan, allowing them, in the name of “the war or terror”, to hand over opposition members to the regimes of these states.
