The German court allowed the extradition of a Ukrainian who refused to serve in the Armed Forces for belief

In his decision, the court noted that rejection of military service for reasons is not an obstacle to extradition. In addition, it allows local and international legislation. For the first time, the Federal Supreme Court of Germany approved the extradition of a citizen of Ukraine, who tried to avoid it because of his unwillingness to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in connection with personal beliefs. About it reports MDR.

The judges substantiated their position by the fact that the rejection of military service for conscience is not an obstacle to extradition in the event of an attack on the state in violation of international law. Therefore, the corresponding person should expect him to be called to the service. In addition, the Basic Law of Germany and the European Convention on Human Rights do not exclude extradition.

Journalists also said that Ukrainian law enforcement officers asked the extradition of a man who left for Germany. In Ukraine, he is charged with threats and physical violence against a police officer during a blood test in hospital. After the beginning of the extradition procedure, the man opposed the return to Ukraine. He argued that he could be called to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The person involved in the case does not want to kill people and refused to mobilize for conscience reasons, but with the beginning of Russian aggression he has been denied this right. We will remind that on February 10 in Munich there was a court hearing in the case of a 58-year-old citizen of Russia, who was suspected of killing two Ukrainian military in the Bavarian town of Murnau in April 2024. The accused pleaded guilty.
