MPs back hacker Gary McKinnon

AN INFLUENTIAL committee of MPs has thrown its weight behind the campaign to stop computer hacker Gary McKinnon’s extradition to the US.

The Home Affairs Committee also called for a “comprehensive review” of the controversial treaty under which he could be sent for trial.

Mr McKinnon, who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome – a form of autism – may face a lengthy prison term.
