UN Special Rapporteur Andrea Bolaños Vargas:
“Extraditing a recognized human rights defender for acts linked to his legitimate work would set a negative precedent and contravene the duty of international protection”
🇪🇸#España
Estoy dando seguimiento al arresto en España de Fergie Chambers, quien ha apoyado la defensa de los derechos humanos, incluyendo apoyo a proyectos humanitarios en Gaza. Según la información recibida, enfrenta un proceso de extradición a Estados Unidos sin haber tenido acceso pleno a la información sobre el proceso en su contra.
La solidaridad internacional y la defensa de los derechos humanos no deben ser criminalizadas. Insto al Estado español a garantizar todas las garantías del debido proceso y la protección internacional y tras la revisión judicial del caso, que proceda a no conceder la extradición, en cumplimiento de sus obligaciones internacionales inderogables.
Extraditar a un reconocido defensor de derechos humanos por actos vinculados a su labor legítima sentaría un precedente negativo y contravendría el deber de protección internacional, ya que existen serias preocupaciones y un riesgo real de que en el país requirente sea sometido a violaciones irreparables de sus derechos humanos, incluyendo la falta de garantías a un debido proceso y la criminalización del ejercicio de su derecho a defender derechos humanos.

Thinking about the unbeatable @jccfergie who made ultimate sacrifices for the Palestinian cause.
Fergie must be freed at once. @sanchezcastejon must step in and release him immediately.
Free Fergie Chambers now!
Our friend & comrade Jim Fergie Chambers was arrested in Spain by Spain at the request of the FBI on a sealed indictment. This political prosecution is because Fergie used his resources to support Palestine against a US funded genocidal policy. Now he needs our help
Please follow this👇account and keep the pressure on @SpainMFA and @sanchezcastejon to not extradite Fergie Chambers, to reject this political persecution, and demand his immediate release!
Free Fergie Chambers. This case is the latest example of the legal & financial war of genocide being conducted against the Palestinian people, alongside the military one, by U.S. imperialism & Zionism.
This is deeply serious. Chambers' indictment hinges on the bogus charge he donated to “foreign terrorist organizations” purely on the basis he moved money from the US to Tunisia, where lived for a time. Fergie's persecution is a test case for Palestine solidarity globally.
“It’s incredible that this can happen to someone who is supporting people trying to exist and survive colonization and ethnic cleansing.”

Club Africain’s ultras demonstrate outside of the Spanish Embassy in Tunis today demanding Fergie’s freedom.
Fergie Chambers sponsored the Tunisian football club when it was in a financial crisis.
Now, Club Africain are this year's national champions.
Free Fergie Chambers!
