A 3-judge panel of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals denied a stay of deportation to John Demjanjuk, an alleged Nazi death camp guard. An arrest warrant was issued in Munich and he faces 29,000 counts of accessory to murder.
The Demjanjuk saga spans decades and continents. The Wikipedia article provides a good overview of the chronology. The most recent issue was Demjanjuk's argument that because he is old and ill, deportation would constitute torture and would therefore be forbidden under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment.
