The procedure for the deportation of a former concentration camp guard John Demyanyuka of the United States to Germany, suspended by a decision of the immigration court passes on Saturday, Agence France-Presse.
Protection of 89-year-old Demyanyuka two days prior to the deportation had to submit to the immigration court a petition for rescission of the decision, referring to the defendant's poor health. According to lawyers, the extradition of former security guard of Germany, where he was put in jail or prison hospital, can be equated to torture.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice of the U.S. Agency confirmed that "working closely with the German Government on the issue of expulsion Demyanyuka of the United States." Press secretary but no confirmed information about the planned deportation on Sunday, noting that while the deportee would not be in the territory of another State, Ministry of Justice does not normally comment.
Born in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Ivan Demyanyuk suspected of collaborating with nearly 29 killings of thousands of Jewish prisoners committed during his service in the death camps Treblinka and Sobibor in Poland. A former security guard who settled in the United States in 1950, involvement in war crimes denies.
In 1986, Demyanyuk was deported to Israel, where he was sentenced to death, but in 1993, the Superior bureau acknowledged that sufficient evidence of his guilt is not, and he was able to return to the United States. In 2002, a federal judge in Cleveland denied Demyanyuka American citizenship, and in 2005 an immigration court authorized his deportation to Germany, Poland or Ukraine.
