Germany refuses to extradite Albanian ‘drug trafficker’ to UK citing inhumane conditions in British jails

Ben Keith quoted in Times of India on 6 September 2023

In an article on Germany’s decision not to extradite to the UK on the grounds that UK prisons are non-compliant with human rights standards, Ben Keith is quoted saying:

“Many UK prisons are over 100 years old and severely overcrowded. The lack of funding and investment has led to this judgment. Indian extradition cases in the UK routinely require assurances on Indian prison conditions. The fact the UK cannot provide one is problematic and this judgment shows that the UK has failed on human rights grounds."
