UK refuses to extradite a Stalinist prosecutor to Poland 01.08.2006 Great Britain has refused to extradite a Polish Stalinist era prosecutor suspected of ordering an illegal arrest of 16 people, mainly Polish Home Army leaders and officers, including the legendary general August Fieldorf, later sentenced to death. Britain quoted humanitarian considerations to justify its decision. Eighty seven year old Helena Wolinska was a military prosecutor between 1950 and 1953. She has lived in Britain since 1968. Poland has been striving for her extradition since 1999.
