The Appellant’s Terrorist Criminality and ETA
98. In our judgment, the exercise of considering the evidence as a whole impels to the following conclusions. First, ETA does not pose any present threat, serious or otherwise, current or predictive, to any of the fundamental interests of the United Kingdom. Nor is there any realistic prospect of any such threat materialising in the future – short term, medium term or longer term. These conclusions apply fully to the Appellant qua former ETA terrorist.
