This document is a judgment from the European Court of Human Rights regarding the case of Babar Ahmad and Others v. The United Kingdom, concerning the extradition of six terrorism suspects (including Abu Hamza) to the United States. The applicants argued that extradition would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights due to the risk of solitary confinement at ADX Florence and the possibility of grossly disproportionate life sentences. The Court unanimously ruled that extradition would not violate Article 3, finding that conditions at ADX Florence and the potential sentences did not amount to inhuman or degrading treatment.
