RFL/RE – The Czech Republic has extradited a man facing charges in the United States for plotting the murder of a prominent critic of Iran’s government. The Czech Justice Ministry said Polad Omarov was handed to representatives of U.S. authorities at Prague’s Vaclav Havel Airport on February 21 after the suspect had exhausted all options of appeal. Omarov was arrested in the Czech Republic in January 2023. The ministry said the justice minister had ruled in July last year in favor of extradition, but the action was delayed by the suspect’s complaint with the constitutional court, which was rejected.
