"of the European Court of Justice ruled that Germany could not extradite Hungarian and Romanian citizens to their own countries unless it could be proved that their prisons are free from inhuman and degrading conditions. If we cannot extradite foreign nationals to their own country’s prisons, then we cannot possibly extradite British citizens to the same prisons. Innocent British victims of European arrest warrants have long testified to the degrading and inhuman conditions in Greek, Spanish and Hungarian prisons, to name just three. I shall now be writing to the Home Secretary, asking her to suspend the extradition of British citizens under European arrest warrants to any EU Member State where there is any question whatsoever of the prison conditions meting out degrading and inhuman treatment. That should take care of most of them. Britain needs an extradition treaty that restores the traditional protections for our own citizens under our own law, and we can only do that outside of the European Union."@en1
