WIESENTHAL CENTER WELCOMES DEMJANJUK DEPORTATION RULING
The Simon Wiesenthal Center welcomes the Board of Immigration Appeals ruling in the John Demjanjuk case that upholds that theformer Nazi extermination and concentration camp guard removed to his native Ukraine.
“It is instructive to note that the accused Nazi War criminal had even tried to reverse the legal order against him under the Convention Against Torture. It seems that he has confused theconcepts of torture with the rule of law,” said Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, founder and dean and associate dean, respectively, of the Wiesenthal Center. “The bottom line is thatDemjanjuk has used full access to the protection of his rights both in the United states and in Israel and it now appears that the democratic rule of law will finally mete out a symbolic measureof justice,” the added.
“We anticipate that he will be deported to the Ukraine based on his service in Nazi extermination and concentration camps and two concentration camps in Poland during World War II, and hissubsequent hiding of these facts when he entered the U.S.,” the rabbis concluded.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the UnitedStates. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, and the Council of Europe.
