Guardian [UK]
07/11/06
Lawyers for two British Muslims fighting extradition to the US on terrorism charges claimed yesterday that the men risked being sent to Guantanamo Bay or a third country by 'extraordinary rendition,' or being placed in solitary confinement to force them to cooperate with prosecutors. The high court in London heard an appeal by lawyers for Babar Ahmad, a computer expert from Tooting, south London, and Haroon Aswat, who was detained in Zambia last year. ... The government faces mounting pressure over its extradition treaty with the US. ... Washington has promised that the two British men will not be sent to Guantanamo or turned over to a third country, but Mr Fitzgerald urged the high court judges not to rely on US assurances...
