The US Supreme Court has denied an appeal from Tahawwur Rana, who is accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, to stop his extradition to India. Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, argued that sending him to India would violate US law and the United Nations Convention Against Torture. He claimed that as a Muslim of Pakistani descent, he would be tortured in India due to the charges against him.
Rana also mentioned his serious health issues, including heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, kidney problems, and a possible cancer diagnosis. He argued that his health would make being sent to an Indian prison a "death sentence."
The decision came after US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met, and Trump announced that Rana would be sent to India to face justice for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. These attacks, which took place on November 26, 2008, killed 166 people across eight locations in Mumbai. Rana is linked to David Coleman Headley, one of the main planners of the attacks.
The US Supreme Court's decision brings Rana closer to facing trial in India for his involvement in the deadly terror attacks.
