[2007] EWHC 1109 (Admin)

A life sentence without the possibility of parole or remission was not by its very nature necessarily and always a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.3. Therefore, the secretary of state had not erred in ordering the extradition of the claimant to the United States to face charges of murder and a life sentence without remission if convicted.
