On Thursday 22 April 2021 the European Court of Human Rights granted in few hours a request of interim measure under Rule 39 of the Rules of Court, submitted in the same day, in order to prevent the applicant’s extradition from Italy to the United States of America planned for the following 23 April 2021.
The requested person is wanted to stand trial in the United States for first degree murder and, if found guilty, she shall be punished by imprisonment for life without eligibility for parole. The lack of a mechanism or possibility of review of a whole life sentence is not consistent with Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
The extradition has been suspended until 7 May 2021 and the Italian Government has been invited to inform the Court of the evidence and/or assurances received which confirm that the applicant, if extradited and convicted, would have access to a review mechanism of a life sentence.
