"Next week Government reforms which would remove an important safeguard against unjust extradition will be challenged in the House of Lords. Despite the Government’s explicit commitment to extradition reform, the new Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill proposes removing the automatic right to appeal in extradition cases – requiring people contesting extradition to the US or other EU countries to obtain the leave of the court."
