were to be detained extradition procedures are notoriously long and let's not forget that when general pinochet was arrested in london it took nearly a year for the case to be decided these procedures are both judicial and political they're mainly judicial but there's usually a political oversight. so it's very difficult to predict what the outcome will be particularly since we don't yet know exactly where he is now britain has refused to extradite a number of people wanted by russia what's been the reasoning behind these decisions do you think. well the reasoning in britain is that they will not get a fair trial in russia and that russia or is pursuing the man fairly but i don't think that britain will have a say in this present case it seems to me that any detention of psychiatrists would be governed by the extradition treaties that exist between poland and russia as a kind of is not a british citizen. but britain as i say has always alleged including in the case of self that the trial there would not be fair and that's the grounds they've given for refusing to extradite him and of course for
