Terror accused 'face US injustice'

Two terrorist suspects wanted by the US Government would be exposed to "a real risk of fundamental injustice and discriminatory treatment" if extradited to America, the High court has been told.

The QC told Lord Justice Laws, sitting with Mr Justice Walker, that the men also faced the risk of extraordinary rendition - the process of removing terrorist suspects to third countries for interrogation - and being held in solitary confinement.

He said they were in danger of being indefinitely detained under a military order applying to foreign citizens or tried and sentenced by a military commission as enemy combatants in what would amount to "a flagrant denial of justice".
