Chilean senator murder: SC to hear plea of jailed French woman

October 06, 2015 19:24

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on Friday the plea of jailed French national Marie Emmanuelle Verhoeven challenging her arrest and extradition proceedings initiated by the Centre at the request of Chile for her alleged involvement in the assassination of a senator there in 1991.

"Let it come up for hearing on Friday," a bench comprising Justices T S Thakur and Kurian Joesph said after senior lawyer T R Andhyarujina, appearing for Verhoeven, 56, sought an urgent hearing.

Andhyarujina also said the re-arrest of Verhoeven "gravely prejudiced" her fundamental rights under the Constitution.
