According to the 31/03/11 information received, Mr. X., an Algerian national, had openly supported the opposition party running for the 2004 presidential elections. He arrived in the U.K. in 2003. On 27 February 2007, he was arrested on charges of money-laundering. On the same day he claimed asylum in the U.K. arguing fear of persecution due to his political opinions. On 22 March 2007, Mr. X. was allegedly sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment by the Criminal Court of Y. in Algeria. In November 2007, the Algerian Government produced the extradition request before U.K. authorities. Mr. X. had reportedly received a number of death threats. In June 2009, the City of Westminister Magistrates’ Court considered Mr.X.’s extradition case and determined that were he to be extradited to Algeria he would face a real risk of being ill-treated. Notwithstanding this, the court indicated it would be satisfied by the diplomatic assurances provided by Algeria. On 5 March 2010, the U.K. Border Agency refused Mr. X.’s asylum claim. On 23 March, Mr. X. lodged an appeal. On 25 March, he was notified that although his asylum appeal was pending, the Secretary of State would be considering that his case be heard by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC). The SIAC deals with appeals against decisions made by the Home Office to deport, or exclude, someone from the U.K. on national security grounds, or for other public interest reasons.
