UK terror suspect Hamza appeals European Court of Human Rights extradition ruling

07/10/12: Al Jazeera reports suspected terrorist Abu Hamza has lodged an appeal at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) from its ruling that he can be extradited from Britain to the United States.  Britain’s interior ministry said on Monday that Hamza had applied to have the judgment referred to the Strasbourg-based court’s Grand Chamber.  In April, the ECHR ruled that London could extradite Hamza and four others to the US, finding that their human rights would not be violated if they were extradited.  The court allowed a three-month stay for appeal, due to expire on Tuesday, but a spokesman for the court confirmed that Hamza’s lawyers had filed a request and that it was within the deadline.
