Serena is due to stand trial in the Algarve on charges of aggravated criminal defamation, which carries a sentence of over 6 months in prison. 2009-11-29T04:32:18+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/andrew_symeou/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/andrew_symeou/#When:08:52:06Z Despite strong evidence of police misconduct, in May of this year the British High Court ordered Andrew’s extradition to Greece under a European Arrest Warrant. Andrew was extradited to Greece on 23 July 2009. Having been refused bail, he now remains in prison in Greece. 2009-10-01T08:52:06+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/patrick_malluzzo/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/patrick_malluzzo/#When:08:10:22Z Patrick has now served nearly half of his original 10 year sentence without a final determination of his case. Fair Trials International is extremely concerned about the Indian judiciary’s failure to hear his appeal and give him a final verdict for nearly five years. We are confident that he has an extremely strong case and that any competent court will acquit him, once his appeal is heard. 2009-09-01T08:10:22+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/michael_shields1/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/michael_shields1/#When:14:20:38Z Fair Trials International has campaigned for Michael Shields’ release since his arrest in 2005. FTI was able to observe first hand Michael’s trial in Bulgaria, concluding that it was fundamentally flawed and that key defence evidence was not taken into account by the Bulgarian court. On the 9th September 2009, Jack Straw finally pardoned Michael Shields. 2009-09-29T14:20:38+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/deborah_dark/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/deborah_dark/#When:14:59:55Z Deborah Dark’s case demonstrates a serious problem with Europe’s fast-track extradition system. She has spent the last twenty years re-building her life following a horrendous ordeal in the late 1980s. In the last few months the life of this grandmother of two has been destroyed following her arrest and detention in Turkey, Spain and the UK. 2009-09-27T14:59:55+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/francisco_juan_larranaga_paco/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/francisco_juan_larranaga_paco/#When:07:19:57Z Francisco Juan Larrañaga (Paco), a dual national of Spain and the Philippines, was sentenced to death in 2004 - for crimes he allegedly committed when he was 19 - following a grossly unfair trial in the Philippines which restricted his ability to present a defence. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 2006, after the death penalty was scrapped in the Philippines and a general amnesty was granted. 2009-07-21T07:19:57+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/paulette_garricks/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/paulette_garricks/#When:13:56:04Z In April this year, Paulette Garricks - a young British woman from Buckinghamshire – went on a holiday to Jamaica and Barbados. 2009-07-02T13:56:04+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/garry_mann/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/garry_mann/#When:14:42:07Z Having been the victim of a fast track trial in Portugal – which saw him arrested, tried and convicted in less than 48 hours – he now faces extradition under another fast track procedure, the European Arrest Warrant. 2009-06-01T14:42:07+00:00 http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/linda_carty/ http://www.fairtrials.net/cases/article/linda_carty/#When:09:48:21Z Linda Carty, a 46 year old British citizen, is on Death Row in Texas, convicted of murdering of a young mother in a bid to kidnap her baby. 2009-04-22T09:48:21+00:00
