Thread Name: BS: Christopher Tappin
Subject: RE: BS: Christopher Tappin
Can someone clarify

(a) was Tappin in the US at the time he allegedly did the allegedly wrongful things for which he was extradited

(b) if he was not at that time in the US, what relevant communications of his were allegedly received in the US?

Many of us have been saying since before the Extradition treaty in question became operative and before the Extradition Act that Mr Justice Cranston considered came into force that the effect as between the US and the UK are inequitable in that a person can be extradited to the US in circumstances that if mirrored would not result in his being extradited from the UK to the UK.

Which (naturally) brings me to the UK resident unlawfully incarcerated in Guanatanamo bay...

And US refusal to honour promises at governmental level to release prisoners to the UK government.
