Rejected petition Scrap the "Extradition Treaty"

More details

British citizens should be tried in British courts under British law. The "Extradition Treaty" with the USA should be reversed as it goes against the law of Magna Carta, and denies us to the rights of a jury of our peers and a selection of easily accessed witnesses.

These are the foundations of law in a democratic society.
