Khalid al Fawwaz has been trapped in a legal limbo for more than 12 years fighting extradition to the US on trumped up charges for which his accusers have still failed to provide any concrete evidence other than unreliable statements extracted under torture.
 
Following the targetted assassination of Osama bin Ladin and its current practice of conducting extra judicial killings via drone attacks, it is quite clear in the present incendiary climate in America, the UK Government now needs to review its extradition procedures to America as a matter of haste.
 
Therefore I am asking you to write to your local MP demanding that he or she exerts pressure on the government to suspend the current extradition request. At the moment there are no guarantees that the US Administration will give Khalid al Fawwaz a fair trial.

I've written to my MP and it took me just under three minutes - please use the next three minutes to try and make a change. Your letter could be the one to tip the balance.
