New Zealand faces global pressure over move to let resident be extradited to China

MPs from around the world tell Jacinda Ardern that case of murder suspect Kyung Yup Kim could set dangerous precedent'

New Zealand is under international pressure to stop the extradition of a resident to China, after a landmark supreme court decision allowed the government to send a man accused of murder to Shanghai to face trial.

The decision was a reversal of previous court rulings, which blocked extradition on the grounds that Kyung Yup Kim, the accused, would be at high risk of torture or an unfair trial.
