The family of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad is applying for his asylum in the UK after claiming he has been tortured in Lebanon.
The radical cleric left the UK in August 2005 and was told he would not be allowed back.
Sky's Mark White said the family claims the radical preacher was "systematically tortured" while in custody at a maximum security prison.
The claims have not been independently verified, he added.
"The families of Omar Bakri Mohammad say that he has been transferred to a maximum security prison ... in Lebanon.
"They also say that he has been systematically tortured during his time in that maximum security prison.
"We have no independent verification of this, but the family insists that he is in very poor health.
"They claim that he is actually close to death and they're seeking an urgent appeal now to the UK authorities to have him returned to the UK under asylum."
