Fergie Chambers faces Spanish court fight over US extradition request The Spanish government has come under fire for allowing the extradition case of prominent American activist and Gaza humanitarian donor Fergie Chambers to proceed to the country’s courts, after declining to block the US request at the preliminary stage. Government spokesperson Elma Saiz described Tuesday’s decision as “purely procedural” and said the government had conducted only a formal examination of the request. Chambers’ lawyers will now contest the extradition before Spain’s Audiencia Nacional, after which the government will take a final decision. Baltasar Garzon, lead counsel for Chambers, said the decision “sets a dangerous precedent regarding the defence of the Palestinian cause”. Garzon, the former Spanish judge who pursued Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet under the principle of universal jurisdiction, added: “Spain cannot defend international law, the rights of the Palestinian people and the protection of those who provide humanitarian aid while at the same time allowing a request to proceed with an extradition that shows clear signs of political persecution by the US Government.” Read more: Fergie Chambers faces Spanish court fight over US extradition request Fergie Chambers has remained imprisoned since his arrest in Ibiza in July (Supplied)

Second Israeli soldier accused of Gaza war crimes leaves India after complaint An Israeli soldier accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip has left India weeks after the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) filed a criminal complaint against him in August, a lawyer close to the case told Middle East Eye. The soldier, whose identity has not been made public, left the country in mid-September, the lawyer said. It remains unclear whether his departure was prompted by the complaint or whether his holiday had simply ended. News of his departure comes as Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar called on states to respect international law for multilateralism to function effectively, even as New Delhi faces criticism for failing to pursue complaints against Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes who were visiting India. "Multilateralism will be best served when international law, rules and norms are scrupulously observed," Jaishankar said at an event on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.
