Algerian man challenges deportation refusal over terrorism claims

By Rory Hanlon

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

An unnamed Algerian man challenged a refusal to revoke his deportation order in the High Court, reported on 19 December 2017, after the State claimed links to Islamic terrorism.

The man argued that returning him to Algeria would put him at risk of torture and ill-treatment. He denies involvement in terrorism and groups including Al-Qaeda, while the State said he had convictions for terrorism offences in Algeria and France.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
