The facts of the case concern the human rights violations affecting Mr. Wong Ho Wing, a Chinese national, since his arrest in 2008 and a red alert extradition request issued by INTERPOL due to his involvement in smuggling.

In its ruling, the Inter-American Court analyzes judicial guarantees and due process in the extradition proceedings, as well as obligations arising from the principle of non-refoulement in the context of possible risks to life and personal integrity.
