Italy's supreme Court of
Cassation has blocked the extradition to Turkey of a drugs
trafficker because it said Turkey violates human rights, sources
said on Thursday. It said the situation has "deteriorated" since
the Turkish government suspended application of the human rights
convention following July's failed coup. As a result the
Cassation rejected a ruling by a Venice court to deport the
drugs trafficker, who had served a seven-year jail term in
Turkey.
