Tahawwur Rana, a key suspect in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, has sought an emergency stay on his extradition to India over fears of torture. He argues that his health issues, Muslim identity, and ties to the Pakistani army pose great risks if returned to India. Rana’s recent appeals reference human rights concerns and a UK court ruling that affects similar cases.

Tahawwur Rana, accused of involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has made urgent pleas to the United States Supreme Court to halt his extradition to India. He expressed that failing to secure a stay could result in his imminent death due to the US courts losing jurisdiction over his case. Rana claims that extradition would lead to severe torture due to his Muslim faith and Pakistani heritage, emphasizing that he faces heightened risks as a former member of the Pakistani army associated with the attacks.

The urgent appeals by Tahawwur Rana to the US Supreme Court reflect his grave concerns regarding torture and health risks if extradited to India. Citing international human rights standards and previous legal decisions, he contends that his extradition would violate US laws against torture. The case continues to unfold as Rana awaits a final decision on his extradition amid serious allegations linked to his past activities.
