Government criticised for refusing to extradite Kerlian murderer
24th July 2019

Foreign Minister Sandra Pavía has been criticised for refusing to extradite Jasmine Eddington, a convicted serial killer, to Kerlile. Eddington entered Lauchenoiria on the 18th July, after escaping while being transferred to another prison in Kerlile. She was apprehended by the Lauchenoirian authorities on Sunday and remains in custody. Kerlile has requested her extradition, however the request was refused.

Pavía has come under fire in parliament from Communist Party leader Javier Flynn, who has raised concerns around the refusal. “Eddington is a dangerous criminal, not a political dissident like most Kerlians who come to Lauchenoiria. We know she is not going to be executed and was being moved to a type of facility in Kerlile where torture is not very common. I see no strong argument in favour of refusing her extradition.”

Supporters of far-right Lauchenoiria First today protested outside of Fleura House, the residence of the President of Lauchenoiria, against the extradition ban and the acceptance of Kerlian refugees into Lauchenoiria. Their leader, Paul Doberman, said: “despite a Kerlian – Charissa Clarke – managing to infiltrate the highest levels of our government, we still let them come here, take jobs and spread their propaganda. Kerlile is dangerous and our current policy is just asking for us to be infiltrated again!”

Lauchenoiria currently has a complete ban on extraditing any individual to Kerlile, a result of the autocratic matriarchy’s frequent use of the death penalty and the inhumane conditions in their prisons. Due to Kerlile’s emigration ban, the vast majority of Kerlians who live in Lauchenoiria are considered ‘fugitives’ by the Kerlian regime. Lauchenoiria generally grants asylum to all Kerlians who escape across the border.

Pavía defended her decision, stating that “while we recognise that this is a unique case, and while we have considered an exception, it would be a mistake for this government to violate our long-standing policy against extraditing to Kerlile. The Matriarchy of Kerlile frequently uses capital punishment, and commonly tortures prisoners. No individual, regardless of their crimes, should be treated in this manner.”

Jasmine Eddington remains in custody in Lauchenoiria.
