§ Lord Rotherwickasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the Yemen has asked for the extradition of Abu Hamsa Al Masri to Yemen; whether they will (a) allow him to remain free in the United Kingdom, (b) find a safe third country for him, (c) detain him, or (d) extradite him to the Yemen. [HL1508]
§ Lord RookerIt is Home Office policy not to make public announcements on individual extradition requests that may or may not have been received. This is to ensure that any on-going investigations by the relevant law enforcement agencies are not jeopardised in any way.
The question of detention is a matter solely for the police.
