Attacks on Russian Treaty Expose Flawed Extradition Evidence
Dr Henry Miskowicz of New York’s Society for Ethical Culture says the 1893 Russo American extradition treaty favors Russia by allowing surrender on likely conviction with un sworn or false documentary evidence. He cites the Pouren and Rudovitz cases as examples of translated documents and lay officials' rulings. Mrs Anna Garlin Spencer warns the critique targets U S government and law, not the czar.
