Extradition Act 2003 (Amendment to Designations) Order 2010

I obviously did not make myself clear. I was not asking about the prima facie evidence of the alleged crime, or about general improvement of human rights in Libya. It was a narrower question. The legislation refers to a person; I do not know whether he is the accused, an appellant or someone else in a particular situation. If that person seeks to rely on the provisions of the Extradition Act, to which a judge must have regard in considering whether to grant the extradition order, what must the individual do? Is he able to point only to the general human rights situation and argue that because of that context he would be in danger; or must he go further and give evidence of his own position and particular threats against him and people who have done what he is alleged to have done? I suggested that some of that might be very difficult. If the Minister can answer this now, that would be helpful. If he cannot, I just want him to be clearer than I have obviously been able to make it about what my question is.
