The USA is being asked for assurances that they won't charge him with anything that carries a death sentence. They're not being asked for assurances about nukes or cannons. So the UK judiciary are taking the threat of a death sentence seriously.
- pvg 3y agoThese assurance requests are routine and often legally required in countries with no or highly constrained death penalty. They happen in -> US extradition cases all the time.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoI checked, and they still haven't issued this assurance. So no, this isn't just a boilerplate thing.
