WHERE YOU MIGHT CONSIDER
RUNNING TO, IF YOU HAD NO
OTHER CHOICE
In the case that you may have to run, here are some things to consider.
I am not an expert on evading extradition, or how to evade the federal government, NSA
or other super powers, but I do have some recommendations that you might want to
consider if you decide that you have no other choice but to run. The following countries
do not currently have an extradition treaty to the United States.
“Afghanistan, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus,
Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape
Verde, the Central
African Republic, Chad, China, Comoros, Congo (Kinshasa), Congo (Brazzaville),
Djibouti, Equatorial
Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Ivory Coast,
Kazakhstan,
Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali,
Marshall Islands,
Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique,
Namibia, Nepal,
Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia,
Senegal, Serbia,
Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates,
Uzbekistan, Vanuatu,
Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen.”
This does not mean that these countries will not extradite you, but if you are going to pick
a country to flee to, it would be favorable to your chance to choose from this list. One
notable country on this list, which is famous for extraditing one of the owners of
the
Pirate Bay,
Gottfrid Svartholm to Sweden, is Cambodia. Although no treaty exists
between the two countries, he was extradited by the government.
We all know that Edward Snowden fled to Russia from Hong Kong after leaving the US
from Hawaii and has remained there since without being extradited by the government and
was granted a 1-year temporary asylum. It is unclear if Snowden will be able to stay
longer than his 1-year temporary asylum grants, but as of right now he is badly wanted by
the US government, and Russia is refusing to hand him over.
Another person involved in the Pirate Bay named Fredrik Neij fled to Laos in Asia
following being convicted of “assisting in making copyright content available” and was
sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay damages of 30 million SEK
(approximately €2,740,900 or US$3,620,000). This is of course between Laos and
Sweden, but Laos has not extradited Fredrik, so Laos may be a valid option.
I often hear people from the US claim that if “shit ever pops off” they would just flee to
Canada. Do not even try it, you would not even make it through the border. Canada is like
the baby brother of the United States. When the United States says jump, Canada says
“how high?”. Stay away from Canada if you are running from the United States. Even a
pot activist named Mark Emery who was a Canadian citizen, lived in Canada, but sold
marijuana seeds over the internet to people in the US was extradited to the US to serve a
5-year sentence. According to the other seed vendors in the area, those who only sold
within Canada had never been arrested, but because Emery sold to the US, he was arrested
and extradited.
Although not on the list above, a woman, wanted in the US for parental kidnapping,
named Chere Lyn Tomayko was granted asylum in Costa Rica.

“Tomayko’s claims that her actions were justified by domestic violence she suffered
were taken into account by the Costa Rican authorities.”
