Suspected rebels to be extradited to Russia
The decision regarding the extradition of eight rebel gunmen to Russia will be made observing all international conventions and Georgian laws, Dzhemal Gakhokidze, deputy head of the Georgian National Security Council, said on Wednesday. He was refering to the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, which cancels the moratorium on the men's extradition. "If the Georgian prosecutor's office decides to extradite them, this issue will then be considered in a court of law, because the second party can appeal against the decision. The extradition will take place only if the court finds the decision made by the prosecutor's office legitimate," Gakhokidze said. I'm sure Russia will make them very comfortable...
