Normally one would hope that where a country has a death penalty and a record of reneging on its Archived Message Posted by CJ on July 27, 2019, 2:05 pm, in reply to "Lawyer Jen Robinson answers question on this (audio)" Treaty obligations as the US has done with regard to the Paris accord on climate change and the Iran nuclear agreement then a Secretary of State has every justification to consider that the US may not abide by its agreement not to execute JA. Javid has already chosen to ignore these obvious examples and agreed that JA can be extradited to the USA if the courts agree. The numerous examples of penal sanctions and exposure to prisoner violence in the US system should also of course be taken into account in judging whether the US system exposes JA to torture or cruel treatment breaching his human rights. Generally UK extradition is a political fix and JA is in a bad position. The presence of a USA federal death penalty should, imo, require the Minister to look again at the case particularly in the light of Trump's recent reneging on Treaty obligations. We know of course that the Tories will do no such thing. The 175 year punishment is of course a death sentence by any other name. We need to change the system to the Russian system - no extradition full stop. cheers Message Thread: "Donald Trump reinstates death penalty for federal crimes" -- Sky News - scrabb July 25, 2019, 10:19 pm i hope so as this would guarantee no extradition. nm - CJ July 25, 2019, 11:59 pm Re: "Donald Trump reinstates death penalty for federal crimes" -- Sky News - John Monro July 26, 2019, 12:43 am Lawyer Jen Robinson answers question on this (audio) - margo July 26, 2019, 11:36 am Very informative interview.
