Liam Campbell can be extradited on international terrorism charges, Supreme Court rules
Summary
The Supreme Court ruled that Liam Campbell, 59, can be extradited to Lithuania where he faces charges of international terrorism, possession of weapons and smuggling. Campbell had opposed the extradition, arguing that no decision had been made in Lithuania to try him. The five‑judge court dismissed his appeal, finding that a decision to charge and try him had indeed been taken in Lithuania under the 2003 European Arrest Warrant Act. The court noted that the Lithuanian authorities had sufficient evidence and that only a procedural step remained before a formal charge. The decision means Campbell is expected to be surrendered to Lithuania in the coming days, where he will be tried for the alleged offences. The ruling confirms that the extradition request meets the legal requirements for EU member states.
