Gary McKinnon Should Be Tried In A British Court – Huhne

Commenting on computer hacker Gary McKinnon’s latest legal bid to avoid extradition to the US, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“Gary McKinnon’s condition should justify more compassionate treatment than would otherwise be the case.

“It would not be fair to stick a vulnerable computer hacker with no malicious intent or previous conviction in an American Supermax prison before he has even been tried.

“This fiasco should be ended by trying Mr McKinnon in a British court. The Government must then look at renegotiating our unfair extradition treaty with the United States.”
