UK rules out death penalty extradition (2003) - "They give guarantees and we believe their guarantees" - There might of course be some angle I'm not seing, I am no expert in any of this, but if I were making the rules, based on the current information I have, I would say no extradition to countries that have the death penalty, the reason it's important is that it doesn't just apply to terrosits and murderers as is often suggested in the media, it applies to everyone, and it could be that someone is wrongly accused, it could be a business manager that is involved in some accident were people die, or some new modern crime that hasn't been invented yet, and once the extradition happens it might be too late to stop the death penaltynews.bbc.co.uk #
