Please sign this essential petition to give the new government the chance to debate and change the current extradition process
Responsible department: Home Office

We call on the Government to honour the approach taken by both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when in opposition, and to bring into effect the ‘forum’ amendment (proposed in the Police & Justice Act 2006) to amend the Extradition Act 2003, to prevent the unnecessary and punitive extradition of UK citizens to foreign countries where the conduct alleged has taken place in part, or in whole, on UK soil. We further call on the Government to give urgent consideration to incorporating all of the recommendations of the 15th Report of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, published in June 2011, dealing with the UK’s extradition arrangements and to publish and act upon the Home Office’s extradition Review without delay.

Liberty have been supporting the necessary Forum Amendment for a long time.
The new Government now has the opportunity to bring this important safeguard into force immediately. Had such a law been in force when Gary McKinnon’s case first came before the courts his extradition to America could have been barred by the court on this basis. We are now calling on the Coalition Government to honour the principles both parties strongly supported while in opposition, and immediately bring forward a motion before both Houses of Parliament.
The most Recent case of Richard O’Dwyer has only highlighted even further the urgency needed to deal with the extradition treaty once and for all. We’re only too aware of the shambolic way that the last government managed petitions, with vast numbers rejected, so please take this chance to get the issue debated and changed. Thank you.
