Focus of the day story: Extradition is where the law and politics collide. Nowhere else is the issue of other countries’ human rights examined more closely. While extradition has many similarities to immigration matters, there are two important differences: first, extradition is dealt with in public, and second, all individuals facing extradition are of course alleged or convicted criminals.
