'Lauri Love, the British student accused of hacking into US government websites, would be at high risk of killing himself if extradited to the US, the high court has heard. '
'Love, who lives in Suffolk and has Asperger’s syndrome and severe depression, should be tried in Britain for his alleged offences, his counsel, Edward Fitzgerald QC, told the court. '
'Opening an appeal against an earlier decision that Love should be tried in the US, Fitzgerald said: “There’s a very real risk that he would commit suicide [if extradited]. '
'His conduct took place here.“He was arrested by the [British] police and they conducted an investigation before ceding priority to the USA ... '
'He has compelling reasons, including the care and support of his family, to stay in this country. '
