BRAZIL – Yakup Saglar Case (ENG) Ext-1693-135-INTEIRO TEOR ACORDAO-20062022121108575 en-US
his decision of Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court denies Turkey’s request for the extradition of Yakup Sağlar, finding that the alleged offenses lacked sufficient factual specificity, carried political connotations, and failed to meet the requirement of dual criminality. The Court further held that extradition was barred due to serious risks to fair-trial guarantees, the possibility of trial before courts of exception, and Sağlar’s recognized refugee status, in line with the principle of non-refoulement.
