On 24 August, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission dismissed the appeal of an Algerian terrorist suspect against his deportation to Algeria. The Commission held that he did not face a real risk of torture since Algeria had given assurances that he would not be ill-treated upon return. The UK Government’s attempts to conclude a memorandum of understanding with Algeria, containing assurances that individuals sent back to Algeria would not be ill-treated, have so far been unsuccessful.
