Demjanjuk asks Supreme court to stop deportation
John Demjanjuk, branded by the US government a Nazi death camp guard, on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to stop his deportation to Germany, where an arrest warrant accuses him of 29,000 counts of accessory to murder during World War II. A federal appeals court in Ohio has cleared the way for deporting him.
John Demjanjuk, who allegedly aided in the murder of 29,000 Jews at a Nazi-run death camp in occupied Poland, was denied an emergency appeal by a Supreme Court justice Thursday, all but clearing the way for him to be sent to Germany to stand trial for war crimes.
