He had been imprisoned for that already though; 7 year sentence in '06. While I in no way condone anything of what he did or what he stood for, he has the same rights as everyone else.
The extradition was delayed rather than stopped over concerns that he'd receive similar treatment to the detainees in Guantanamo Bay, life imprisonment without parole, and being held in isolation for extended periods of time. Basically inhumane treatment, a violation of Article 3 (I think) of the European Convention for Human Rights. He was eventually extradited after those concerns were assuaged.
