Regina (Wellington) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
House of Lords
“A mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without eligibility for parole which would be imposed on a prisoner convicted of two offences of murder in the first degree did not amount to inhuman or degrading punishment so as to justify a refusal to extradite him to stand trial in the United States of America.”
