Gary McKinnon wins extradition battle

Published on Oct 16, 2012 by telegraphtv : Gary McKinnon's mother Janis Sharp praises Home Secretary Theresa May for her "incredibly brave decision" in blocking the extradition of her son to the US on human rights grounds.

Mr McKinnon is accused by US prosecutors of "the biggest military computer hack of all time", but he claims he was simply looking for evidence of UFOs.

Theresa May told MPs there was evidence that the 46-year-old, who suffers from Asperger syndrome, would try to kill himself if forced to stand trial in the US and therefore extraditing him breached his human rights.
