President Reportedly Considers Extraditions
- Share via
President Nestor Kirchner is considering a decree allowing former military leaders accused of human rights abuses during Argentina’s military dictatorship to be extradited for trial, a newspaper said. The measure would allow the government to review on a case-by-case basis extradition requests from countries whose citizens were alleged victims of the so-called dirty war, the daily Clarin said.
Argentina has repeatedly rejected such extradition requests, insisting that its citizens be tried in their own country. Government officials did not immediately comment on the report.
