View source for R (Abu-Rideh) v MHRT (2004) EWHC 1999 (Admin)

''The claimant was a foreign national detained under the [[Immigration Act 1971]] as a suspected terrorist, then transferred to hospital under [[s48/49]] MHA 1983; the MHRT proceeded on the basis that the only realistic alternative was return to prison, where he would relapse; he argued that the MHRT ought to have considered the question of discharge by reference to discharge into the community, even though this was an impossibility; the Tribunal had been correct in their approach.''

==Notes==
The claimant was detained under the Immigration Act 1971 following the issue of a certificate by the Home Secretary under the s21 [[Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001]] to the effect that the Secretary of State reasonably believed that the claimant's presence in the United Kingdom was a risk to national security and reasonably suspected that he is a terrorist.
