Spain backs US handover
A Spanish prosecutor has backed the United States’ request to extradite millionaire and pro-Palestinian activist James Cox Chambers Jr., who has been detained since his arrest in Ibiza on July 10. The charges include rioting, conspiracy and money laundering. Chambers denies committing sabotage and says he is being politically persecuted for his support of Palestinians, pointing to donations of more than $1 million for humanitarian efforts in Gaza. He has also sought political asylum in Spain and refused to agree to extradition voluntarily. Spain’s Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case in the coming weeks. The final decision on whether to carry out the extradition will then rest with the Cabinet, amid debate over the political motives behind the case and a legal loophole involving penalties of no more than 60 days in protest-related cases.
