- spiralpolitik 12y agoThis also applies to other European union states. I believe its against European law to extradite if the death penalty is in play.

- rmc 12y agoThe death penalty is illegal under the European Convention of Human Rights. All EU (etc) countries won't extradite if the death penalty is possible. Even Russia (who is in the CoE) doesn't extradite for death penalty.
