The Home Secretary told MPs that medical reports warning the computer hacker would kill himself if sent to the US were sufficient grounds to keep him in the UK.
She also announced plans to change extradition rules to allow courts to block extradition attempts if it is in the interests of justice.
The move is a victory for Mr McKinnon’s campaign team, including Janis Sharp, Mr McKinnon’s mother and his MP David Burrowes, who had threatened to quit the Government over the affair.
The Daily Telegraph has also led a campaign urging a rethink after a succession of British businessmen were extradited to America to face charges.
Mrs May told MPs that she had decided that extraditing Mr McKinnon to America would have breached his human rights.
