Joran van der Sloot's Lawyer Fights Extradition to US and Alleged Mistreatment in Peru Prison.

The lawyer for Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch man suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, is challenging his extradition to the U.S. on fraud charges, calling it an “abuse of authority” that violates his client’s rights. Van der Sloot is accused of trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from Holloway's family in exchange for the supposed details of her death. The extradition is scheduled for Thursday, but van der Sloot has not accepted the provisional passport issued for the process.
