Gary McKinnon Should Be Tried In The UK – Huhne

Thursday 26 February 2009

Commenting on today’s news that computer hacker Gary McKinnon has lost the latest round of his fight against extradition to the US, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“If Gary McKinnon is extradited and tried in America then he will be detained in a high security prison, even when only on remand. This is hardly appropriate or necessary for a vulnerable young man who has no malicious intent or previous conviction.

“The Home Secretary must stop sitting on her hands and insist that Mr McKinnon is tried in British courts.”
