Zimbabwe and China first signed the treaty on 5 September 2018. Under the treaty, each country undertakes to extradite to the other those found in its territory and wanted by the other country for trial on criminal charges for a crime common to both countries or to serve their sentence if they have already been tried. Neither country, however, has to extradite its own nationals, but in that case, it undertakes to handle a prosecution under its own law. Extradition has to be for something that is a crime in both countries and carries a jail term in both countries of at least one year. However, both countries have to refuse extradition for political offences, but terrorism offences and the like defined under international conventions are not regarded as political. Neither country is allowed to extradite if they have substantial grounds for believing that the resulting prosecution is on account of the person’s race, sex, religion, nationality or political opinions, of if they fear the trial may be influenced by those factors. Pure military offences are not grounds for extradition.| The Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
