Sheikh Raed Salah was arrested on the orders of home secretary Theresa May after flying into the UK to speak to politicians
A Palestinian activist detained on the orders of home secretary Theresa May after flying into Britain to speak to politicians is to be freed on bail by a high court judge pending the outcome of legal challenges. Sheikh Raed Salah, 52, is challenging the home secretary's decision to detain him in London in late June and wanted to be freed on bail pending the outcome of court proceedings. awyers representing Salah – leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel – told Mr Justice Stadlen during a hearing in London that he did not pose a security risk and should not be held in custody. Home Office lawyers opposed the bail application. Salah will stay in custody until late on Monday to allow Home Office officials to carry out checks on the address in London where he will stay while on bail.
