Madrid, Spain – The wife of a pro-Palestine philanthropist who faces extradition to the United States has urged the Spanish prime minister to grant asylum, to save him from being sent to his own country.
“I am pleading with [Spanish Prime Minister Pedro] Sanchez to use his powers to ensure Fergie’s political asylum claim is expedited for urgent consideration by the panel of ministers. This is within his gift. If he chooses not to act, he risks enabling [US President Donald] Trump to establish a precedent in Spain and across Europe which criminalises solidarity with the Palestinian people,” Stella Schnabel told Al Jazeera.
James “Fergie” Chambers is the first US citizen to face extradition to their own country.
What the hell kind of sentence is this? The majority of people extradited to the United States are people who have committed crimes here and afterwards fled the country; he can’t possibly be the first US citizen.
Good catch. Not sure what Aljazeera is on. I’ll change it.
Anyway, it’s great they added [US president Donald] or I would never have guessed who that Trump guy was that they were talking about
I always think of that other guy [Child rapist Donald] Trump
