ALI CHARAF DAMACHE has judicial review leave refused over terrorism conspiracy

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

ALI CHARAF DAMACHE had his application for leave to pursue judicial review refused by the High Court before Mr Justice Edwards on 31 January 2014. The application arose from extradition proceedings concerning an alleged terrorism-related conspiracy.

The report said a High Court arrest warrant had been issued on 15 February 2013 and that the committal hearing under the Extradition Act 1965 was pending. Damache challenged the decision not to prosecute him in Ireland, arguing that extradition would affect his constitutional and Convention rights; the court held that contention was unstateable. The proceedings were reported on 31 January 2014.
