The deportation of a foreign national on the ground that his presence was not conducive to the public good because he was a danger to the national security of the United Kingdom would breach that person’s right to a fair trial under art 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms if in the receiving state he was at real risk of being tried on evidence obtained by torture.”
