Earlier this month, Malaysia’s high court docket rejected an assertion by the North Korean man that the US cost was politically motivated and dominated that he may be extradited to the United States.
The man, named Mun Chol Myong, has lived in Malaysia for a decade and was arrested in May 2019 after US authorities requested his extradition.
