Symeou takes fight against extradition to the Lords
“Andrew Symeou has won the right to take his fight against extradition to the House of Lords ... A panel of Law Lords will shortly decide whether to agree on a full hearing”
says Private Eye, Issue 1239, page 9, under the Brussels Sprouts column.
As Private Eye also says, this is “a blow to the status of the EU's controversial European arrest warrants (EAWs).” For more information on this case and its wider implications, see:
