Tahawwur Rana’s Plea Against Extradition to India: Health and Persecution Concerns
Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is appealing to the US Supreme Court against his extradition to India, citing potential torture due to his Muslim faith and health issues. He claims that his extradition could lead to death shortly after arrival in India.
Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has requested the US Supreme Court for a stay on his extradition to India. He argues that if extradited, he faces a high probability of torture due to his Muslim faith and Pakistani origin. Rana expressed concern that he would likely die soon if the US court loses jurisdiction over his case, stating that “there will be no review at all” if a stay is not granted.
Tahawwur Rana’s plea against extradition highlights the intersection of health concerns and fears of religious persecution. His deteriorating health, including serious conditions like an abdominal aortic aneurysm and Parkinson’s disease, adds urgency to his case. As the US courts have already approved his extradition, this appeal represents a significant legal challenge for Rana.
