The Czech Republic on Wednesday extradited a man facing charges in the United States for plotting the murder of a prominent critic of Iran's government, the Czech Justice Ministry said. The ministry said Polad Omarov was handed to representatives of US authorities at the Prague Vaclav Havel Airport on Wednesday morning after the suspect had exhausted all options of appeal.

The man, a citizen of Georgia, and three others were charged with planning to assassinate Masih Alinejad, an American human rights activist in Brooklyn and a critic of Iran.

Masih Alinejad has already been the target of two plots, allegedly backed by Iran. She has said that unless the Biden administration's policies on Iran change, her life will continue to be in danger.
