Interview: Abu Qatada case

The European Court of Human Rights has blocked the extradition of Jordanian national Abu Qatada, who is alleged to have been Osama bin Laden's right-hand-man in Europe.

The court also said it would be willing to consider diplomatic assurances from Jordanian authorities that Abu Qatada would not be tortured.

But Amnesty International says that is a position it finds disappointing.

Alice Wyss, a researcher at the UK-based rights organisation, discussed the Abu Qatada case with Al Jazeera's Felicity Barr.
