Extradition and serious health conditions (Zambelli case): duty to obtain individualised assurances on medical care
โ
Summary
Brazil requested the extradition of a former federal parliamentarian for the enforcement of a sentence concerning unlawful carrying of a firearm and unlawful coercion committed with a firearm. The appellant challenged surrender on political-offence and persecution grounds, alleged unfairness before the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court, disputed double criminality, and relied on prison conditions and serious health concerns. The Court rejected the objections concerning the political character of the offences, fair trial, double criminality, and the general conditions at the designated womenโs prison, finding the information and assurances on those matters sufficiently specific. It nevertheless quashed the judgment and remitted the case because the lower court had not obtained precise, individualised information showing that the requested person would receive continuous specialist monitoring, appropriate medication, and adequate treatment for her documented medical conditions.
