UK court blocks extradition of Bosnian former leader | Reuters:

 (Reuters) - A British court refused on Tuesday to extradite former Bosnian wartime leader Ejup Ganic, wanted in Serbia on war crimes charges, saying his trial would be politically motivated.

One could possibly compare the courts opinion to the case of Gary McKinnon.

Being extradited to the US for a crime committed in this country, which we are led to believe, has adequate jurisprudence to try him in a UK court, being offered up on a one-sided extradition treaty.

Would that constitute a politically motivated trial?
