UK Extradition Act 2003
1. The new Extradition Act 2003 was fast-tracked into UK legislation in 2003 without formal consultative parliamentary process, scrutiny or debate. David Blunkett fast tracked this extradition law.
2. It allows the UK to extradite any individual to the US (and other designated countries) WITHOUT the need for the US to provide prima facie evidence to support the extradition request. In other words, the accused DOES NOT have the right to challenge any evidence provided by the US in a British Court of Law. For example, if the US seeks the extradition of 'A' to stand trial for a murder committed on, say 25 March 1998, in the US, the extradition will be approved as long as the US can provide some documentation alleging that it appears that 'A' committed a murder. 'A' does not have the right to challenge this 'evidence' before a British Judge, even if 'A' was in fact, on the date of the crime, admitted to a British hospital and has all the photographic evidence, medical records and doctors statements etc. to prove it.
3. The Extradition Act 2003 seriously erodes the judicial review for any individual sought by the US and allows the UK Government to approve these requests unilaterally, without allowing the individual to defend himself against any provided evidence in a UK Court of Law.
4. The U.K. is the only country in the E.U. to sign this treaty with the U.S. The rest of the E.U. Countries requested that they should also be allowed to extradite a U.S. Citizen if wanted by a E.U. Country, which the U.S. Refused. The net affect is that British Muslims who cannot be convicted here in the U.K. are extradited to the unjust U.S. for sentencing.
