<h1>UK Court Blocks Consultant's Extradition to India Due to Human Rights Concerns Over Tihar Prison Conditions</h1> The UK High Court has granted a defense sector consultant's appeal against extradition to India, where he faces charges of tax evasion and money laundering. The decision, made by Lord Justice Holroyde and Justice Steyn, was based on human rights concerns, specifically the risk of extortion and violence in Tihar prison. The court found that assurances from the Indian government regarding prison conditions were insufficient. The appeal also considered the compatibility of extradition with the European Convention on Human Rights, particularly regarding trial standards. The consultant was subject to extradition requests related to money laundering and tax evasion allegations.
