Despite attempts to be detained or deported, leader of the northern branch of Islamic Movement in Palestinian territories, Sheikh Raed Salah, will remain free on conditional bail in the UK, a court of appeals ruled Wednesday.

Despite attempts by the British Home Officer for him to be detained or deported, leader of the northern branch of Islamic Movement in Palestinian territories, Sheikh Raed Salah, will remain free on conditional bail in the UK, a court of appeals ruled Wednesday.

Sheikh Salah entered Britain last month in order to give a series of talks, despite a government ban on his entry. However, on June 28, after attending a meeting in Leicester he was detained on his return to London.

On July 15, the High Court approved bail for Salah on a guarantee of £30,000 on condition that he report to police every day, refrain from preaching, live at a specific address and obey a curfew.

Home Secretary, Theresa May, then challenged the ruling, arguing that her office had “strong reasons" to believe Salah should be "in detention".

But the judge denied the arguments, and said Salah would be free on bail until his case was reviewed in September. If that review failed, the court added, Salah would indeed be returned to detention.
