LONDON, (PIC)-- A High Court in the UK held two prolonged sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday over an appeal against the deportation of Palestinian political leader Raed Salah.
It was ruled that further hearings would be postponed until Tuesday to finish presenting witnesses and evidence.
According to the British media, UK Home Secretary Theresa May sent emails in search of a reason to exclude Salah from the country ahead of his expected visit to participate in conferences. The Home Secretary was warned by officials in the UK Border Agency not to deport Salah as the evidence against him was finely balanced and could be challenged in the courts.
Meanwhile, the Turkish Mazlumder human rights organization in Turkey has written a formal letter to the British Authorities, including the Queen of England, the Prince of Wales, and UK Prime Minister David Cameron, appealing for Salahs release as well as an apology to Salah and all Muslims, saying that arrest served as a profiling attack.
