However, you have the right to challenge extradition on various grounds including: political offenses, risk of unfair trial, humanitarian grounds, or if the offense is not extraditable. The extradition process involves hearings in Pakistani courts where we can present evidence and arguments against extradition. We provide aggressive representation to protect your rights throughout the extradition proceedings.
