Ill boy’s parents fight extradition

A judge ruled the couple must be held while the court considers whether to grant Britain an extradition request, the National Court in Madrid said. Ashya’s parents Brett and Naghmeh told the judge they do not want to return to the UK.

The boy’s family took him from Southampton General Hospital last Thursday and travelled on a ferry to France with him and his six siblings before heading south to the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. The Kings were arrested on Saturday in Velez-Malaga. Ashya is being treated in a Spanish hospital and his grandmother and brother have criticised the way his parents are being treated.
