EXTRADITION NIGHTMARE: ‘WHEN WE FIRST SAW OUR SON IN JAIL IT BROKE OUR HEARTS’

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - ANDREW GILLIGAN

Andrew Gilligan reports on the disturbing case Andrew Symeou, put in a Greek jail under European extradition rules.

The lowest moment of the Symeou family's European extradition nightmare came when their 20-year-old student son, Andrew, broke down in the office of an investigating magistrate.

"He physically collapsed. He was screaming, 'I'm a good person, this shouldn't be happening to me,'" says his father, Frank, an architecture consultant. "He had to be taken away by ambulance."
