Saturday Oct 18, 2008 An American asks the British government I UNDERSTAND that you are currently holding a certain Mr. Gerald Toben, whom you may extradite to Germany, where he may face five years in prison for comments he made on the Internet. I, too, have made comments on the Internet that certain people may not like, which could expose me to prosecution in Germany. Therefore I would like to know whether it is safe for me to fly on any airline that may stop in Great Britain? Is it possible that I could be held in Great Britain, as Mr. Toben is? Suppose my flight is not even scheduled to stop in Great Britain but must do so because of an emergency; would I still be hauled off the plane and held for extradition to Germany? I cannot afford the considerable legal bills I would incur, to say nothing of my confinement. Would you advise me to avoid any flight that goes anywhere near Great Britain? Is it possible for me to obtain a guarantee ahead of time from the British government whereby they would promise not to arrest me for anything I may have said on the Internet in America?
