Theresa May defends decision to exclude Palestinian activist from UK

as a High Court ruling on the legality of the arrest Sheikh Raed Salah, Interior Minister admits tougher line on extremism

Interior Minister Theresa May has defended its decision to exclude Palestinian activist Sheikh Raed Salah policy in Britain, insisting she take preventive measures against those who promote extremism .

A judge of the Supreme Court must decide whether Salah's arrest and detention was illegal and they should be entitled to compensation for unlawful detention.

Salah, 52, is the leader of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, was arrested in London in June after being allowed into Britain despite the order of deportation order issued against him. Salah, a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship, is on bail pending the outcome of his legal challenge.

Interior Minister, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, defended his actions and acknowledged the tight focus of the coalition government which sees "encouraging extremism."

"I think it's fair that we have taken a slightly different position in the past 18 months, according to a new government to do this because we believe that the issue of spoken words - this people really mean and how they can encourage others through the words they say - is an important issue for us to meet, "she said

• "That's why you made decisions regarding people who have not been done in the past."
• She said it was important to prevent the government's strategy to examine not only violent extremism, but also other types of extremism. "If we can do that, I think [that] allows us to operate at a previous level, rather than simply wait for people down the road of violent extremism," he said.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Salah will test the legality of this preventive approach to the exclusion of foreign political activists labeled as extremists by the Minister of Interior.

Nicol judge reserved judgment after a two-day hearing on whether the arrest and detention of Salah was legal and should be entitled to damages. Salah falsely claims he was imprisoned because he was "limited without lawful authority."

Salah went to Britain on June 25 with the intention of staying for 10 days to attend public meetings and demonstrations. It is believed he was "waved through [the] border" and was arrested three days later, when he became Minister of the Interior issued a deportation order, saying Salah presence in Great Britain was "not conducive to the public good."
