Can I challenge a US extradition request on human rights grounds?

Yes. Article 3 ECHR challenges have been raised successfully in US extradition cases, particularly regarding conditions of detention in US federal facilities and the severity of mandatory minimum sentences. Article 8 (private and family life) arguments are also regularly litigated, particularly for long-term UK residents with British family members.
