Libya To Demand Extradition Of Lockerbie Bomber Al-Megrahi
Al-Maghreb News Updates
25 April 2009
Libya plans to seek the extradition
of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi
who is serving a life term in Scotland and suffering
from terminal cancer, a source close to the case told
AFP on Monday.
"Libya and Britain are due to exchange ratified
extradition documents at the end of April, and after
that Libya will officially submit a request for
Abdelbaset Megrahi's extradition," the source said on
condition of anonymity, AFP reported.
This would allow Megrahi "to continue his sentence in
a Libyan prison, particularly since he is suffering
from an advanced stage of cancer and has only a few
weeks left to live," the source added.
In May 2007, Libya and Britain signed a protocol
agreement on the transfer of prisoners.
Megrahi is serving a life sentence with a minimum term
of 27 years after being unjustly convicted of downing
a transatlantic US airliner over the Scottish village
of Lockerbie in 1988, killing 270 people.
His wife Aisha told AFP in February that he "is in
danger of dying" because of his worsening cancer and
complained that he had been refused bail.
"His body is not reacting any more to medication
because of his bad psychological condition, according
to a report by his doctor," she said, adding that she
had visited him three times in February alone.
"Hospitals are refusing to admit him because of the
exaggerated (police) surveillance involved in
transferring him" from prison, she added.
