The Brussels Court of Appeal, seized by Iranian opponents in exile, on Friday suspended any possibility for the Belgian executive to hand over to Iran the Iranian agent Assadollah Assadi, sentenced in 2021 in Belgium for terrorism, announced to AFP the plaintiffs' lawyer.
This possibility was in theory open for 48 hours and the ratification by the Belgian Parliament of a bilateral treaty on the transfer of convicts.
But there is no question that the surrender of Assadollah Assadi can take place before the holding of
“an adversarial debate with the Belgian State”
before the justice, explained this lawyer, Me Georges-Henri Beauthier.
