`  == Death penalty ==  ``This article has been interpreted as prohibiting a state from extraditing an individual to another state if they are likely to suffer the death penalty.``  I don't think that's true. To my knowledge, in the Soering case they specifically found that extraditing someone to face the death penalty didn't violate this article. It was the 'death row phenomenom' of waiting decades for the sentence to be executed that was found to be inhuman and degrading, not the death penalty itself. If he would have been swiftly executed on conviction, he could have been extradited. I should really be studying for exams but I just thought I'd put this out there quickly. Hopefully I'll come back and edit it myself when I have more time, but if anyone wants to do it in the meantime it might help the article.   `
