The Spanish authorities are preparing to extradite ethnic Chechen Murad Gasayev to the Russian Federation, where he would be at risk of an unfair trial, torture and other ill-treatment. If the extradition goes ahead, it will violate Spain’s obligations under international human rights law, including the UN Convention against Torture.
