A L'Aquila court on Wednesday
rejected the extradition to Israel of a 37-year-old Palestinian
held in Terni prison on suspicion of international terrorism
including planning carbomb attacks on Jewish settlements in the
West Bank, saying he risked being tortured if sent there.
The L'Aquila appeals court said the man, Anan Yaeesh, "if
extradited to the state of Israel may be subjected to cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment, or in any case acts that
constitute a violation of his human rights."
It also said he did not need to be extradited as he is charged
in Italy with the same crimes Tel Aviv wants to try him for.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been protesting against the
possible extradition for weeks.
