Extradited from Ukraine to Belgium - When crypto entrepreneurs are targeted. Radha Stirling talks with Simon Tadros, a tech entrepreneur who was extradited from Ukraine to Belgium, a country he had never even been to. Simon tells a story of what can happen to savvy entrepreneurs when law enforcement gets it wrong.  Interpol and extradition specialist, Radha Stirling, has represented a number of crypto entrepreneurs who have been wrongfully targeted by law enforcement and swept up in a new, worrying trend towards universal jurisdiction. “Countries are trying to extradite entrepreneurs who have never even visited the requesting country.  It’s dangerous and open to abuse.  There is significant pressure on law enforcement to crackdown on crypto users and entrepreneurs and they are misusing Interpol and the extradition process to export their authority internationally. “We can not allow a precedent to be set whereby any country can, without evidence, have someone extradited to their country, especially those who have never even been there.  Imagine if Saudi or China began requesting the same?” Simon Tadros was detained in Ukraine, extradited to Belgium to face unfair and unevidenced allegations.  He was ultimately released which exemplifies how law enforcement and universal jurisdiction are a great threat to the safety of individuals, putting them at risk of egregious human rights violations. “What Simon has been through is disgraceful.  He will not be compensated for the wrongful extradition, for the damage to his reputation, business and the personal toll it has taken on him and his family.” Stirling successfully helped British national, Christopher Emms, defend extradition from Saudi Arabia to the US and has appealed to Interpol to remove the Red Notice issued by the US in violation of Interpol’s rules. “I hope Simon’s case acts as a warning to Western law enforcement agencies who are haphazardly extraditing targets and ruining their lives, only to realise there is no genuine case”. https://www.radhastirling.com/ https://www.interpolrednotice.com/

Gulf in Justice host, Radha Stirling, interviews Mr Zulfi Bujhari, special advisor to Prime Minister Imran Khan, the “most popular PM in Pakistan’s history”. Mr Bujhari explains what led to the ousting and subsequent persecution of PM Khan and his entire party, their families and allies. Mr Buhhari fought to have a wrongful Interpol Red Notice against him removed.  He hopes that the higher legal courts in Pakistan will ultimately exonerate Mr Khan of the “falsified” legal cases against him in what is clearly a shocking example of the weaponization of a legal system against their political opponent, the democratically elected Imran Khan. Bujhari says ousting the most popular Prime Minister has set the country back decades, and the international community and allies could have done more to influence justice and fairness in his country.

Apprentice star Selina Waterman-Smith's Dubai nightmare - Selina was gang raped in Dubai and has been suffering at the hands of a conman The 39 year old entrepreneur and Apprentice star has been living in “glamorous” downtown Dubai where she founded a food delivery company and expanded her events company, but living life in the sun has been somewhat of a rollercoaster. After surviving her abduction and gang rape in Dubai, Selina is now travel banned and has to pay £30,000 to her South African “stalker”. Her experience does not support the narrative that the UAE is the “second safest country in the world” and we have to assume it's the Emirates government providing the data to ranking analysts. Talking to Selina, Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, says “it is clear that Selina is going through an extremely tough time. She’s a determined and vibrant woman but what she’s had to deal with is going to cause anyone sleepless nights, stress and PTSD. She’s keeping her head up and is determined to fight for justice”. www.detainedindubai.org [www.detainedindubai.org] www.radhastirling.com [www.radhastirling.com]
