Kenyan media reports indicate that the country's High Court has upheld the extradition order for Abdul Zahir Qadir, a former Afghan parliamentarian, to the United States. He is facing serious charges related to drug and weapons trafficking.
The court stated that Kenya remains committed to its international treaty obligations, making the request from American authorities fully justified. Qadir was arrested last month while on a business trip in Nairobi.
Lawyers for the former Afghan official had argued that there was no applicable extradition treaty between Kenya and the US. However, the judges dismissed this claim, confirming he must be sent to the United States to face trial.
