Lauri Love and friends tells us of the last ditch efforts to Stop Lauri’s extradition to Trump-Land.
British citizen facing 99 years in jail if the High Court allow his extradition to the United States. Lauri Love is appealing against extradition to the United States for his alleged involvement with, what he says were online protests and what US authorities allege was stealing data from United States Government computers including the US Army, Missile Defense Agency, and NASA.
Lauri’s case represents the first proper test case for the forum bar, introduced into law in order to protect vulnerable British defendants from being extradited to America when their cases could be heard in the UK.
NEWSFLASH: We have just heard that Lauri Love’s appeal against extradition to the US has been moved back a day. The hearing will now take place on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 November, at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London.
