Torture by German authorities

Cleveland/Munich - The family of retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk has asked Tuesday a US federal appeals court in Ohio to block his deportation to Germany while he seeks to have his case reviewed, because he is too sick to travel and that being deported to Germany amounts to torture. The U.S. Justice Department had opposed his previous appeals. 

An arrest warrant delivered by Munich principal prosecutor Manfred Nötzel  accuses the frail 89-year-old of serving as a camp guard in WW II. Ulrich Staudigl, a spokesman for the Justice Ministry in Berlin, said Demjanjuk was expected soon. Guenther Maull, a Munich-based official lawyer said that because his fair blood values Demjanjuk could arrive in Germany on Wednesday. Demjanjuks transport to Munich hae been meticulously planned by the German authorities. The airplain will not be a normal airliner, but a special ambulance machine with equipment to transport patients suffering from fatal diseases. The arrest warrent shall be handed over in the plane.
