Lauri Love discusses why he fears US extradition
After being re-arrested by British authorities, Lauri Love has spoken to the BBC about why he wants to be tried in the UK rather than be extradited to the US: I would say my prospects of due process in America are essentially zero, and the prospect of extradition is tantamount to a punishment worse than any punishment from the UK justice system. The BBC includes a brief video of Love talking about the toll his case has taken thus far, “My parents and me are quite stressed. I have had time to acclimatise. My dad has had a heart condition and my mum is a natural worrier.” Love has not been charged with a crime in the UK, even though that’s where the alleged offences occurred. “The charges should be heard here… where 12 of my peers should be found to try me,” Love said. See our extradition page to see why “the UK-USA extradition treaty, ratified by the US Senate in 2006 and implemented in 2007, is fundamentally skewed towards misuse by the US Department of Justice. Love has a preliminary hearing in October before the proper extradition hearing in December. Support his legal defence fund here. See the BBC’s full story here.

    • designed for terrorism suspects
    • allows the US to extradite British citizens for breaking US laws, even if the offence committed in the UK
    • Reverse does not apply:  Britain may not extradite US citizens.

    Low Burden of Proof
    *Therefore US extradition readily obtained, without sufficient proof to warrant extradition.
    Zero successful extraditions of American citizens committing a crime while on US soil (since 2007)
