Human Rights Watch criticizes the extradition of Norwegian activist to Greece

Human Rights Watch has criticized the extradition of Norwegian activist Tommy Olsen to Greece, calling the charges against him baseless and part of a broader crackdown on human rights defenders.

Tommy Olsen was arrested in Tromsø, Norway, following a European arrest warrant issued by Greek authorities. On the same day, the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court ruled that Olsen could be extradited to Greece. The case has drawn attention from various quarters, particularly from organizations advocating for human rights, who fear that the extradition could further endanger those defending the rights of migrants.
