The High Court has upheld the extradition of a former Afghan Parliament Speaker, Abdul Zahir Qadeer, to the United States to face drug-related charges. The ruling dismisses his appeal against a magistrate's order for surrender.

• Former Deputy Speaker of the Afghan parliament Abdul Zahir Qadeer is wanted by US authorities.
• The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) successfully argued that extradition is permissible under the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988, despite the absence of a bilateral treaty.
• Justice Alexander Muteti ruled there was a sufficient legal basis for extradition, noting it aligns with international cooperation and public interest.
