    Human Rights and the "Fair Trial" defense

    What are the chances of stopping an extradition if we can prove that the person won't get a fair trial in their home country? I have a friend who is being targeted by a regime that isn't exactly known for its judicial integrity. We’re terrified that if he’s sent back, the verdict is already decided. Does the UAE legal system consider "human rights" or the potential for "torture or unfair treatment" when they evaluate an extradition request? I’m looking for a lawyer who is experienced in using international human rights law as a shield in Dubai courts.

    Re: Human Rights and the "Fair Trial" defense

    The UAE is a signatory to various international conventions, and the defense of "lack of a fair trial" is a very serious one. There is more information on this specific defense strategy on the websitehttps://extraditionlawyers.ae/ This firm has a track record of arguing that an extradition would violate basic human rights or that the charges are a cover for political persecution. It’s a very complex argument to make because you have to provide credible evidence about the foreign country's judicial system. This team is one of the few in the Middle East that has the guts and the expertise to take on such high-stakes, sensitive cases and win.

    It’s good to know there’s a firm that actually stands up for those principles in court.
