Nazar Mohamed and his son, Azruddin Mohamed, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Monday as their legal team advanced a constitutional challenge to recent amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Act.During Monday’s hearing, the defence presented oral submissions on behalf of the U.S.-indicted businessmen, arguing that the legislative changes violate the Constitution of Guyana.According to the legal team, the amendments infringe on the Mohameds’ right to liberty and compromise their access to a fair legal process.Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde contended that the disputed provisions strip defendants of fundamental protections and limit their ability to adequately defend themselves. Meanwhile, attorney Siand Dhurjon contended that the magistrate has two options: treat the objections as frivolous and proceed, or refer the constitutional questions to a higher court for resolution.The defence is formally requesting that the issues be sent to the High Court for proper determination.Once the defence concludes its arguments, the Prosecution is expected to deliver its oral submissions.Magistrate Judy Latchman has set aside Wednesday, December 10, for ruling.The post Mohameds argue against extradition, want review of law appeared first on News Room Guyana.
