Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt announced that the government would not extradite Fehriye Erdal to Turkey, overruling the Supreme Court's decision. "This is good news for Fehriye, naturally. But it is also politically important. It is very important that our country refuses to deliver people back to a country like Turkey, which laughs in the face of human rights," Erdal's lawyer Raf Jespers said.
