With regards to the Lockerbie suspect, and teh US insistence on retaining
the barbaric death penalty, what would/are the issues about an
abolitionist country (i.e. Scotland) becoming involved in a case that may result in it ?
This is a hypothetical as I have just read the suspect will not face the death penalty.
ISTR there are cases where Canada won't extradite if the death penalty is
a possibility >
To my shame I have no idea what or if the UK position is. (Although it
would unsurprise me to learn it was devoid of any moral backbone).
