The trial of radical cleric Abu Qatada is due to begin in Jordan later.
The Palestinian-Jordanian, who fought an eight-year legal battle to stay in the UK, will face terrorism charges.
He had said he would not get a fair trial, but agreed to leave in July after the UK and Jordan agreed evidence obtained under torture would not be used against him.
He is accused of involvement in a series of bombings in 1998 and a terrorist plot that was foiled in 2000.
Abu Qatada, whose real name is Omar Othman, was previously convicted of the offences in his absence and sentenced to life imprisonment - but he will now be re-tried.
Desert prisonAttempts to deport him from the UK began in 2005 but were repeatedly prevented by judges concerned about his human rights.
He eventually gave up his legal challenges and was flown to Jordan in July.
Speaking about his departure, British Home Secretary Theresa May said the UK government had been "vindicated" after its long fight to deport him.
Since arriving in Jordan, Abu Qatada has been held in a high-security prison in a remote desert area.
He could face 15 years in prison if convicted, reports from news agency AFP suggested.
