A Danish court has denied India's extradition request for Niels Holck, a national accused of involvement in a 1995 arms smuggling case. The court determined that extraditing Holck could violate Denmark's extradition act and the European Convention on Human Rights due to the risk of torture or inhumane treatment in India, despite India's assurances regarding his detention conditions. Holck, who confessed to parachuting weapons into West Bengal to support a local movement, had previously escaped capture while others involved were sentenced in India. This marks a continued rejection of extradition requests dating back to 2002, amidst ongoing diplomatic tensions between Denmark and India. Holck expressed a desire to be held accountable but feared for his safety if extradited. The ruling can be appealed, indicating a possibility for further legal proceedings.
