After more than six years of legal battles the extradition case against Sean Garland has concluded in victory.
The State Prosecution Service has announced that it will not seek leave to appeal against Justice John
Edward’s ruling of 21 December 2011 not to grant the United States demand for his extradition.
Extraordinary burden
The Rev Chris Hudson MBE, Chair of the ‘Stop the Extradition Campaign’ said ” I am delighted
that this the phase of the ordeal has now concuded.This has been an extraordinary burden and pressure on Sean, Mary
their family, friends and supporters”.
” I would like to thank everyone who has supported the anti-extradition campaign for their perseverance, committment
and belief. I do not believe we would have achieved this outcome without that level of support”.
“However, this does not mark the end of this campaign,” warned Rev Hudson. “We must now re-double
our efforts to have this extradition warrant withdrawn completely by the United States to allow Sean Garland and his family
the right to travel at will outside of Ireland without fear of arrest and detention”, he said.
Costs
Although Justice Edwards agreed that Sean’s legal team should be awarded costs , the cost of the anti-extradition
campaign has to be borne by friends and supporters.
