The Czech Republic on Wednesday extradited a man facing charges in the United States for plotting the murder of a prominent critic of Iran's government, the Czech Justice Ministry said. The ministry said Polad Omarov was handed to representatives of US authorities at the Prague Vaclav Havel Airport on Wednesday morning after the suspect had exhausted all options of appeal. Omarov was arrested in the Czech Republic in January 2023.
The Czech Republic has extradited Polad Omarov Wednesday after he was charged by the U.S. in 2023 in a plot to kill Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad.
The man, a citizen of Georgia, and three others were charged with planning to assassinate Masih Alinejad, an American human rights activist in Brooklyn and a critic of Iran.
