Abu Hamza could be released on March 4

Imad al-Husin, known as Abu Hamza, who spent years in the Immigration Center in East Sarajevo because he was declared a threat to national security, could be released on March 4, Dnevni Avaz writes.
All his appeals to the BiH Court and the European Court of Human Rights were rejected, but he could be released soon thanks to the adoption of some European directives.
Slobodan Ujic, director of the BiH Service for Foreigners Affairs, said that Abu Hamza will be in the Immigration Center until March 3.
BiH security minister Dragan Mektic said recently that Abu Hamza could be released due to new Law on Foreign Citizens. He added that Hamza still presents a threat to BiH security.
“We adopted a new law which is in accordance with the European standards. According to that law, when eight months of detention expire, we have to release him. He will still be a threat and will be put under special surveillance”, Mektic said.
Abu Hamza, who is detained in Immigration Center, cannot be extradited to Syria because of the war in that country, according to human rights convention.
Hamza arrived in BiH during the 1992-1995 war and was member of “El-Mujahid” Detachment. He is detained in Immigration Center since 2008.
