An England football fan from Kent will be extradited to Portugal on 5 May to serve a two year jail term unless a final High Court appeal is successful.Garry Mann, 52, of Faversham, was convicted for his role in a riot in Albufeira during Euro 2004.
He had his appeal against extradition to Portugal rejected by the European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday.
The High Court has been asked to consider a last-ditch appeal using evidence from the Foreign Office.
Jago Russell, from Fair Trial International, said: "British courts have just six days to stop Garry Mann being put on a flight to Portugal where he would serve a two year jail sentence.
'Grossly unfair'
"Time and again our judges have recognised the 'serious injustice' in his case, now it is time for them to do something about it."
He said the High Court has been asked to consider the urgent application but had not yet decided whether a hearing would be granted.
Fair Trials International have described Mann's trial as "grossly unfair" after he was arrested, tried and convicted in the space of 48 hours.
In an application submitted to the High Court on Wednesday, documents said Mann agreed to be deported three days after being sentenced in the belief his jail term would be waived.
But they said a judge who later agreed to his extradition did so without hearing that this was also the understanding of the Foreign Office.
Mr Mann's legal team said the evidence for the final appeal is from the Foreign Office, which has not been heard in court, but supported his case to remain in the UK.
Portugal is seeking his extradition because Mann did not serve his sentence in the UK after deportation.
He has condemned the British government's handling of the case.This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
