Lets say that somebody killed 10 people in the USA. Then he escapes to the UK. Now he gets arrested in Lomdon. US seeks his extradition, but refuses to exclude the possibility of death penalty. Now, would the UK government extradite him or not?

The U.K. and many other countries have a long record of refusing to extradite prisoners to the U.S. if the death penalty is in play. They comply with extradition requests only if they are assured that the death penalty will not be applied.

hi Bellerphon, definite, there grow to be a recent fraud case the place somebody grow to be extradited to the u . s . a . from England who's a uk citizen. For homicide with the potential for a loss of life sentence, that's yet another be counted. The Human Rights Act 1998 may well be stated interior the case while extradition lawsuits began. the united kingdom government might locate it perplexing to play it down.

in this case they would not. whilst britain does have an extradition treaty with the usa the rules state that no one will be extradited to a state or country if doing so would lead to that person being subjected to the death penalty when they arrived. this can be gotten round if the country in question agrees to commute the sentence to life in prison
