Extradition sought for Czech defector Jan Sejna
Czechoslovakia seeks Jan Sejna's extradition via the US Czechoslovak Embassy in Washington under a mutual extradition treaty. Sejna, a former defense ministry official, defected to the United States with his son and son’s fiancée, risking political upheaval and potential resignations. U.S. officials say extradition is unlikely, given refugee protections and political context. A separate note mentions a scholar attributing disputed Federalist Papers to Madison.
