UK government may appeal on whether convicted terrorist had human rights breached

The Government has said it may appeal against a High Court ruling that a convicted terrorist had his human rights breached by being kept away from other prisoners.

The ruling on Tuesday said the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) had breached Sahayb Abu’s human rights by not allowing him to mix with other prisoners, as a precautionary measure.

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick said on Thursday the ruling had provided a “perverse situation where a terrorist’s mental health is prioritised over national security”.

Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones confirmed that the Government was looking at appealing against the judgment by Mr Justice Sheldon, as part of a range of options available.

She said: “In relation to the most recent judicial review announced just yesterday, the Government is considering all of the available options, including the right to appeal.”

Abu was jailed for life with a minimum term of 19 years in 2021 for plotting a lone wolf knife attack during the Covid pandemic.

He was put in a segregation centre at HMP Woodhill in Buckinghamshire, and later moved to HMP Full Sutton in east Yorkshire after Hashem Abedi, the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber Salman, allegedly attacked several police officers.
