Gary McKinnon plea fails
THE Home Secretary yesterday rejected a last-ditch bid to block the extradition of Gary McKinnon to the US on computer hacking charges.
Alan Johnson said the move would not breach McKinnon’s human rights.
He said in a statement: “As the courts have affirmed, I have no general discretion.
“If his human rights would be breached, I must stop the extradition.
If they would not be breached, the extradition must go ahead.”
It came after the High Court refused McKinnon permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
McKinnon, 43, of Wood Green, North London, who has a form of autism, is accused of hacking into the Pentagon’s computers but said he was investigating UFOs.
His mum Janis Sharp called it a “cruel and miserable decision”.
She added: “To force a peaceful, vulnerable, misguided UFO fanatic like Gary thousands of miles from his much-needed support network is barbaric.”
