This is from Monsters and Critics. The only other English language report is in the Arab Times. Aftenposten has not yet got the story on their English language page, but their report is here in Norwegian.
In November 2007, Norway's Supreme Court ordered Mullah Krekar's deportation to Iraq for national security reasons after he was found to have links with the Islamic Ansar al-Islam organization, the reports said.
Krekar was Tuesday quoted in Oslo daily Verdens Gang as saying he wants the Strasbourg-based court to assess if he had been subjected to inhumane treatment or not.
He said felt he was in 'internal exile' and has been denied the opportunity to work, study or be part of society. 'I have no rights, no work permit and no right to medical help,' he said.
His lawyer Brynjar Meling said Krekar had no passport or freedom of movement.
He also noted that Krekar may risk the death penalty or torture if deported to Iraq. 'For nearly six years, my client has not been able to work, travel, or even pick up a package at the post office or open a bank account since he lacks any form of identification papers,' said Meling.  Because of this, Krekar's wife has been forced to support him, he added.
Meling maintains that Norway has violated three articles of the European Convention on Human Rights: Article 3 banning 'inhuman or degrading treatment,' Article 8 demanding respect for 'private and family life,' and Arcticle 13 providing the right to defend one's human rights before a national court.
Krekar was granted asylum in Norway in 1991, but in February 2003 was ordered to leave for violating his refugee terms and his alleged links to Ansar al-Islam.
The US considers Ansar al-Islam to be an ally of the al-Qaeda terrorist network. The initial deportation order was not been carried out due to the security situation in Iraq.
It was not yet clear Tuesday whether the European Court of Human Rights would consider Krekar's case.
