All-Party Panel of Peers and MPs to Demand Extradition Act 2003 Independence from the USA on July 4th

Gary McKinnon is not the only person facing extradition to the USA, without prima facie evidence being presneted in a British court:

"All-Party Panel of Peers and MP's to Demand Extradition Independence from US on American Independence Day - 04 July 2005

Meeting Venue: Committee Room 11, House of Commons, Westminster, SW1
Date: 04 July 2005
Time: 6pm-8pm (prompt start)

On Monday 04 July 2005, an all-party panel of peers and MP's will join prominent British lawyers at the House of Commons to demand an end to the one-sided extradition arrangements between Britain and the U.S.

Since the U.K.-U.S. Extradition Treaty of 2003 was signed, the U.S. has demanded the extradition of over 40 British Citizens without having to provide any evidence. Even if the U.S. ratifies the Treaty, Britain cannot seek the extradition of any U.S. Citizen without first proving a case in a U.S. court. Therefore, British Citizens have inferior rights in comparison to their American counterparts.

The following will join other MP's and the families and friends of Britons facing extradition to the US, in Committee Room 11 of the House of Commons:

Chair: Saghir Hussain (Solicitor)

Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrats Constitutional Affairs Spokesman)

Boris Johnson MP (Conservative MP for "Enron Three" British bankers
facing extradition to the US on fraud allegations)

Sadiq Khan MP (Labour MP for Babar Ahmad, Briton facing extradition to
the U.S. on terrorism allegations)

Hugo Charlton (Green Party Chairman and Barrister)

Gareth Pierce (Prominent Human Rights lawyer)

James Welch (Liberty Solicitor - involved in Katherine Gun Case)

Yvonne Ridley (Journalist, Respect Party)
