Coke 'Dudus' Judicial Review delayed
THE application for a Judicial review filed by lawyers
seeking to prevent the extradition of Christopher 'Dudus' Coke to the
United States, has been delayed until Wednesday.
The matter was adjourned after Minister of Justice Dorothy Lightbourne
filed an affidavit today to which Don Foote, Cook's lead attorney, said
he needed time in which to respond.
Coke is wanted by the United States to face gun and drug trafficking
charges. It was the signing of his arrest warrant that sparked attacks
by gunmen on security forces and the ensuing State of Emergency.
He is seeking a Judicial Review of the decision by the justice
minister, giving the authority to proceed with extradition proceedings
against him.
The case before the Supreme Court does not prevent the police from executing the arrest warrant against him.
