Thursday Jun 08 2006.

Kim Howells, the British minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the Middle-East and North Africa, raised again the juridical agreements




One of which are undergoing obstacles, on the occasion of the meeting that took place yesterday with foreign minister Mohammed Bedjaoui and Abdelkader Messahel, the minister delegate to Maghreb and African affairs, then with the chief of government Abdelaziz Belkhadem. Howells declared yesterday, that he will discuss with Algerian leaders the international terrorism dossier that he considered “the biggest common threat”, and he praised “the Algerian experience in anti terrorism fighting”.

Sources that followed the visit said that Howells talked with his interlocutors about the four juridical agreements which are agreement on the criminal cooperation, civil and commercial laws cooperation, and an agreement of the free movement of persons, and the forth one, which is the most important for Britain, is related to the extradition of Algerians who are imprisoned there under terrorism suspicions.

Juridical sources declared that the speed up of the negotiation process of the extradition of Algerians is the most important point in Howells discussions. The British responsible didn’t show insisting from his government towards the exterior surveillance on the conditions of the extradited persons in Algerian prisons. Thus means, according to certain sources, that Britain can give up this condition that it put previously. The Guardian newspaper reported that 4 of the prisoners prefer the hell of the Algerian prisons than the British prisons”. The letter that was said to be theirs was demanding the British government to send them to Algeria.
