The European Court of Human Rights ruled Tuesday that Abu Qatada, a radical Islamic preacher regarded as one of Al Qaeda’s main inspirational leaders in Europe, cannot be deported from Britain to his native Jordan because his trial there would be tainted by evidence obtained by torture. The preacher, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman, is in prison in Britain and has been convicted in his absence in Jordan of planning two bombing attacks. The British government had insisted that he be returned to Jordan as part of a wider strategy of dealing with international terrorism suspects by deportation.
Although it accepted Jordan’s assurances that Mr. Othman would be treated humanely, the European court in Strasbourg, France, said in its ruling that evidence against Mr. Othman in the Jordan bombings "had been obtained by torturing one of his co-defendants." Deporting him would "legitimize the torture of witnesses and suspects," it said, and "result in a flagrant denial of justice."
Britain has wrestled for more than a decade with a sense that it had become a safe haven and incubator for Islamic extremism, struggling to balance civil liberties and due process with security. One former senior antiterrorism police officer, who requested anonymity in order to discuss delicate security issues, said Britain had tracked as many as 100
nascent
terror plots at any one time since 2001, though only a few escalated into serious threats.
Britain’s close links with the Middle East and Pakistan, its formerly generous asylum policies and a history of protecting free speech also combined to make it fertile ground for many others seeking to promulgate extremist interpretations of Islam. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was fiercely criticized for trying to address Britain’s problems with Islamic extremism by introducing indefinite detention without trial for "suspected international terrorists" in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Subsequent efforts have included more robust laws against inciting religious hatred, "control orders" that seek to monitor suspects without jailing them, tightened asylum procedures, and redoubled efforts to deport suspects.
All those measures have been subject to appeal at the European court, which sits above Britain’s own Supreme Court as a final arbiter of appeals.
Many terror suspects sought by the United States, including the preacher Abu Hamza, have argued that the threat that the United States will hold them in isolation in super maximum security prisons or at the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, and the possibility of the death penalty, constitute human rights violations.
From The New York Times, January 18, 2012
Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word "nascent" (Para 3)?
选项
A、violent
B、sudden
C、undeveloped
D、severe
答案
C
解析
本题为词汇题。根据句子“Britain had tracked as many as 100 nascent terror plots at any one time since 2001,though only a few escalated into serious threats.”中的serious可推测前面提到的100例恐怖主义的阴谋还是处于初期阶段的,所以选项C合适。
