Our Aims

Friends Extradited aims to provide you with a dispassionate look at:

the history of this piece of US/UK legislation

the still pressing need for amendment

the Government's response to calls for change

a look at several lives badly affected by the law's limitations.

Friends Extradited has deliberately chosen not to focus on the more complex area of European Arrest Warrants and European Investigation Orders which are equally as pernicious. Too many cases of British citizens extradited to EU countries will attest to the inherent flaws in the EAW and EIO legislation. If you are interested in learning more about intra-EU extradition take a look at Fair Trials International's ongoing efforts to redress the harm http://www.fairtrials.net.

Friends Extradited is solely dedicated to changing the rules that apply to US extradition requests.
