<p>Fact: Gary McKinnon is facing a possible 60 year prison sentence - Why?</p> <p>Gary McKinnon (born 10 February 1966) is a British hacker facing extradition to the United States on charges of perpetrating what is claimed by one US prosecutor to be the &quot;biggest military computer hack of all time.&quot;[1]</p> <p>source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon</p> <p><a href="http://news.humanrightstv.com/justice_and_mckinnon">Learn More About Gary McKinnon</a></p> <p>This is a strange case for HumanRights TV because Gary McKinnon is unquestionably (by his own words) guilty of hacking US military and defence computers. But the breach in human rights is the way this case has been handled and continues to be handled by the US and the British governments. We are very busy prosecuting a young man with a mental health problem, a mental health problem that led to the&nbsp; crime being committed. On that issue alone we have to support Gary Mckinnon no matter what we think about the rest of the case.</p>
