Haroon Rashid Aswat is a British terrorist who has been linked to the 7 July 2005 bombings in London. American officials allege that he has ties to al Qaeda, and have sought his extradition to the United States, which is supported by the British government. After his internment in Broadmoor Hospital in 2008, in 2010 the European Court of Human Rights blocked efforts to extradite Aswat due to concerns over the conditions of his potential imprisonment in the United States. This decision was upheld on 11 September 2013. Aswat was extradited to the U.S. in October 2014, after the U.S. government gave assurances to the British High Court that he would receive satisfactory care; in January 2015, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that his extradition was legal. At his trial in New York in March 2015, Aswat pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, and In October that year he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with "specialised psychiatric care". He was deported back to the U.K. in 2022, where he was detained in hospital.
