Concerning the respect of human rights in the treatment of Algerian detainees which are supposed to be extradited from Great Britain, when London find it hard to convince judges to extradite 15 Algerians suspected of terrorism who have not been judged because there are not enough proves to condemn them. At the end of his visit to Great Britain, the president Bouteflika has declared, in a speech in the bank “H S B C” at London last Wednesday, that Algeria commits to provide necessary guaranties which could dissipate fears of the British Justice concerning the mistreatment of Algerian detainees in British prisons, if they are extradited. Algerian well informed sources have indicated that if Bouteflika “has presented this commitment it means that he has found reserves of British responsibles concerning the extradition of Algerians”. British newspapers of Thursday have indicated the fact that there was no ratifying of a memorandum of understanding concerning the extradition of 15 Algerians charged of being involved in terrorist activities, to activate the judicial agreement relating to the extradition which has been signed. The various mass media have stated “that what was decided around the extradition is only the general framework to extradite those that the United Kingdom regards as dangers to its safety”. The newspapers have reported the Prime Minister Tony Blair: “we hope that the judicial co-operation between Algeria and the United Kingdom facilitates the capacity of our country to extradite those who are at the origin of the problems of the United Kingdom towards Algeria”. He has also indicated expressing implicitly the difficulty of his government of extraditing the suspects “most important is that everyone knows that Algeria and the United Kingdom are confronted to the same problems relating to the international terrorism”.
