 Ministers face new terrorist human rights row
The Ugandan man, described as a danger to the public and the Armed Forces, has used the controversial Human Rights Act to stave off deportation for four years.
His case will raise fresh concerns over the exploitation of the legislation, which was used by Abu Qatada to avoid deportation to Jordan for eight years.
Qatada's departure to Jordan - on a private plane from an RAF base in London - is thought to be imminent.
However, Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has fought a parallel human rights case with a convicted terrorist over another, highly controversial, provision of the legislation - the Article 8 guarantee of a “right to family life”.
The terrorist was jailed after admitting that he attended a terrorist training camp and told he would face deportation at the end of his sentence.
