Farah Damji extradition ordered over restraining-order breaches

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Farah Damji’s extradition to the United Kingdom was ordered by the High Court on 31 January 2022, after convictions for breaching a restraining order.

The convictions followed two breaches in April and June 2018, and Damji was convicted in her absence at Southwark Crown Court after leaving her trial in 2020.

The High Court rejected her objection that UK prison mental-health services were too deficient to prevent surrender on human-rights grounds.

The court refused to postpone surrender over an Irish charge and remanded Damji on bail pending an application to appeal.
