India wants to conduct a show trial against a Dane who did humanitarian work for the wrong people. Also back in the 1990's two fractions of communists did fight each other in a part of India.
A Danish author and humanitarian named
Niels Holck got himself involved and India is a special nation where they always state like small children that they can do everything themselves so he insulted them. According to their government they have no need in India so a good advice is to avoid helping people in India so they don't invent charges against you.
Dane to India on weapons charges, Politiken, April 9, 2010We are a polite nation so our department of justice will allow them to play with him, but on some conditions:
First Denmark demands that they should look at their history and treat him like one of the former imperialist. No ordinary jail for him. They have to give a report month per months about how he is treated. We saw how Camilla Broe (who was extradited to Florida for remaining too long in a violent relationship) lost +20 pounds from September 2009 to April 2010 when she returned home cleared of all charges.
Second Denmark demands that he should be returned home to Denmark to serve his sentence no later than 3 weeks after the verdict of the court. In the Camilla Broe the time limit was 6 months.
Finally they may hand a death sentence out but it cannot be executed.
India has accepted the Danish terms, so now Mr. Holck has to spend 2 years in the Danish justice system before a final verdict regarding his extradition can be expected and then properly like 5 years in India before they can reach a decision. That's how long it took with a person from United Kingdom who was convicted in the same case.
The Camilla Broe case had a huge impact on the number of exchange students going abroad. Together with the Amanda Knox and the Louise Woodward case it did send a huge warning that the time for student exchange was over.
Now it is the personal involvement of people regarding aid to the third world which seem to be under attack. When news of this case of possible extradition first came in 2007 the involvement in the Operation Days work project dropped so it now is only 15-20 percent of the student population who participate. Due to the often political nature of selecting a country to benefit the students cannot be forced to participate in community service projects. We have no "enslavement act" like the one Obama is introducing.
No one understands the motives in these extradition cases. It was a failure for the department of justice in the Camilla Broe case. If India as many suspect plan to kill him during an "escape attempt" before the show trial can take place, then it will be another failure.
