Hamza lodges appeal against deportation ananova.com [He is also wanted for various charges in Yemen.] al-bab.com Lawyers for the Muslim cleric Abu Hamza confirm they have lodged an appeal against attempts to kick him out of Britain. The one-eyed, hook-handed preacher was served with papers signed by Home Secretary David Blunkett on April 5, telling him the Government intended to use the new Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act. The new law allows a person who acts against the UK's interests to be stripped of British citizenship. In a statement tonight, his solicitors, Arani & Co, said: "We confirm that an appeal has been lodged on behalf of our above named client. "We confirm that we are unable to comment further on this matter. "This is now going to be a matter for the courts to adjudicate upon." The measures taken by the Government could pave the way for Hamza's extradition to his native Egypt. Yemen has also renewed attempts to extradite Hamza to face charges of terrorism. Earlier this week, Hamza's lawyers claimed evidence which may be used against him in American courts was "tainted". James Ujaama, an American Muslim who admits aiding the Taliban, has agreed to help federal prosecutors investigate Hamza. A US official said this could lead to a request for Hamza's extradition from Britain to the US.
