On 15 May, a court in Norway rejected a request from Greece to extradite human rights defender Tommy Olsen, ending the immediate risk of extradition. The court confirmed that the actions for which Tommy Olsen is prosecuted in Greece are not punishable under Norwegian law and that the charges represent “a real risk of violation of his freedom of expression”. The decision will not be appealed. The case followed his arrest in Norway in March 2026 under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Greece in relation to his work documenting pushbacks and other abuses at Europe’s borders.
