To ask His Majesty's Government whether the government of Rwanda has requested the extradition of individuals associated with genocide-related activities; if so, whether those individuals have been extradited; and, if not, why.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the government of Rwanda has requested the extradition of individuals associated with genocide-related activities; if so, whether those individuals have been extradited; and, if not, why.
In July 2017, extradition requests from Rwanda for five individuals accused of involvement in the genocide were refused by the High Court. The Government does not interfere in these judicial decisions.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign criminals have been extradited to the UK in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign criminals have been extradited to the UK in each of the last five years.
The Home Office deals with extradition requests to and from territories outside of the European Union. The National Crime Agency holds the data in relation to requests between the UK and EU countries.
In respect of extraditions dealt with by the Home Office, the following table provides the information sought:
Year | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 (to date) |
No. of foreign nationals | 17 | 13 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 4 |
The Home Office processes requests for extradition for individuals who have either been convicted or who are accused of a crime but have yet to proceed through a criminal trial.
All Home Office figures are from local management information and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such, they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people were extradited from the UK to another country to face trial in each year between 2019 and 2022.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people were extradited from the UK to another country to face trial in each year between 2019 and 2022.
The number of persons extradited under Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003 to face trial in another country in each year between 2019 and 2022 may be listed as follows:
Year | On Accusation Warrants |
2019 | 23 |
2020 | 17 |
2021 | 17 |
2022 | 20 |
All figures are from local management information. As such they should be treated as provisional and subject to change.
The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases. Only those surrendered on accusation warrants are included. The figures also do not include persons extradited to requesting states on the basis of a conviction warrant, as this assumes they will not be facing trial in the requested state on return.
Extraditions from the UK under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 are handled by the National Crime Agency and statistics are published on their website:

To ask His Majesty's Government what, if any, extradition arrangements exist between the UK and (1) the People’s Republic of China, and (2) the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The UK does not have a bilateral extradition treaty with the People’s Republic of China. The Foreign Secretary made a statement in the House of Commons in July 2020 on the status of the UK-Hong Kong Extradition Treaty, confirming its indefinite suspension.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the implications for her policies of reports of intimidation and attempted forced extradition of Uyghur Muslims living in UK.
We continually assess potential threats in the UK, and take protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. Any attempt by any foreign power to intimidate, harass or harm individuals or communities in the UK will not be tolerated.
All extradition requests to the UK are subject to the safeguards contained in legislation and the full scrutiny of the UK courts. The UK does not have a bilateral extradition treaty with the People’s Republic of China.

To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have given to law enforcement agencies regarding actions to pursue on Interpol Red Notices issued by Russian authorities.
To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have given to law enforcement agencies regarding actions to pursue on Interpol Red Notices issued by Russian authorities.
The Government has a long-standing policy to neither confirm nor deny (NCND) the existence of a Red Notice or Diffusion against any named individual. This includes how individual Notices or Diffusions are handled by law enforcement officers. This is in order to support the functioning of our judicial processes. This policy is also applied by the National Crime Agency.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether any country has rejected a UK request for extradition, for reasons of the inadequacy of (1) the UK justice system, or (2) the UK prison conditions, within the past five years; and if so, which countries have done so, and on what grounds.

As a matter of long-standing Government policy, we do not comment on whether an extradition request has been made or received.
However, I can confirm that the UK makes every attempt to respond as fully as possible to requests for assurances in relation to matters such as those referenced by the Noble Lord when such requests are received in relation to extradition requests made to other countries.

Obviously it is in our national interest to have effective extradition relationships. Under the treaty we have with the US, we have secured the extradition and subsequent conviction of terrorists, murderers, rapists and child sex offenders. I am happy to meet my right hon. Friend to discuss this issue further. As he knows, the US has refused, I think, one UK extradition request and the UK has refused 27, but I know that he has concerns and I would be happy to meet him to discuss this matter further.

Mr David Davis (Haltemprice and Howden) (Con):
In the aftermath of 9/11, the British Government signed an extradition treaty with the United States with the intention of covering terrorism and other violent crime. Since it came into force in 2003, the US has extradited 83 people to the UK, while we have sent 225 to America. Three quarters of those extraditions have been for non-violent and largely white-collar alleged crimes.
There is a fundamental unfairness at the heart of our extradition treaty, as was shown when Anne Sacoolas refused to come here to face trial for the killing of Harry Dunn. That unfairness is compounded by an American system that coerces British citizens and gives them unfair trials. In the last two decades, the American policy has been rather like an international commercial policy. Correcting that is important, so will the Prime Minister look at the treaty with a view to correcting this parody of justice?
