An unnamed man opposed deportation over alleged Islamic State recruitment before the High Court, reported on 2 March 2016.

The man denied claims that he consulted extremist leaders, arranged travel or recruited members for Islamic State. He said his fear of torture in Jordan had increased after one son was detained there for almost three months without charge.

He challenged the deportation decision and alleged that the Minister for Justice had unlawfully failed to decide his asylum application. The State opposed the proceedings, citing security concerns and alleged abuse of process, while the action continued.
