Italian Court Approves Extradition of Singer Rokia Traoré to Belgium

Rokia Traoré faces extradition following a Belgian court ruling related to a child custody dispute.

Rokia Traoré, a renowned Malian singer, has been detained in Italy since June over a child custody case originating in Belgium.
Italy's Court of Cassation has rejected Traoré's appeal against extradition, aligning with a European Court of Justice ruling.
Traoré was sentenced in absentia to two years in prison by a Belgian court for non-representation of her child to the father.
Her lawyer argues that the Belgian legal process violated her rights, as she was not present or represented during the trial.
Traoré's case highlights ongoing international legal disputes and concerns over fair trial rights.
