US authorities altered translations in documents sent to Spain to "exaggerate the seriousness of the allegations" against Fergie Chambers, according to the legal team of pro-Palestinian activists and philanthropists, as his extradition hearing approaches on November 13.
■ According to a press release from ILOCAD, the law firm working on Chambers' defense, the US made "12 substantive changes" to English-Spanish, for example, changing "direct action" to "direct violence."
■ An extradition hearing for Chambers, ordered by the Trump administration, will take place on November 13, but he cannot be extradited while his asylum application is still pending, and he can still file appeals if the extradition is approved.
