Britain refuses to extradite Musharraf | The British government has made
it clear to the Pakistani authorities that it would not hand over former President
Pervez Musharraf to them. As per British government, it does not extradite individuals
to countries where the death penalty is enforced; rather, it processes such requests
as per its judicial system before giving out any decision. The refusal comes after
a formal letter was sent through the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to the
Interpol with respect to a Red Notice stating that Musharraf was required within
Pakistan in connection with the Benazir Bhutto murder probe. According to The
News International, Britain has hugely dampened such extradition calls in the
past. An Interpol Red Notice is considered an international arrest warrant, as
by itself Interpol does not have the authority to issue arrest warrants, as this
authority usually lies in the hands of sovereign member states. Britain has stated
that a number of individuals, including Musharraf, belonging to different countries,
have been living within the United Kingdom (all wanted by their respective governments),
and would be handed over to their respective countries until they defy the law
of the UK.
