According to BBC, Taylor was ordered to serve the rest of his jail term in the UK, after losing a request to be transferred to Rwanda.
The ex-president had argued that he was being denied his rights to a family life, because his wife and children had not been granted UK visas.
The judges rejected this argument, saying they had not properly applied.

Charles Taylor was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in jail by a UN-backed court over his support for rebels who committed atrocities in Sierra Leone.
He arrived the UK last October, having unsuccessfully challenged the decision to be detained there.
He however always insisted on his innocence saying that his only contact with the rebels was to urge them to stop fighting.
