Sure, let's grant him a safe passage to our jurisdiction so he could testify in a trial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Hus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_H

  Very funny. That was in 1414 in the Holy Roman Empire (of the German Nation). How is this related to the Federal Republic of Germany in 2013?

    We've come a long way since 1414: "After a few weeks, his opponents succeeded in imprisoning him, on the strength of a rumor that he intended to flee". "...the person who promised 'save passage'.. was told that he could not be bound by promises to a heretic" "Hus was not allowed an advocate for his defense" "..he remained [in the dungeon] for 73 days, separated from his friends, chained day and night, poorly fed, and ill." (Edit: and he was burned at the stake).
