Israeli Nazi hunter deplores Demjanjuk release < German news | Expatica GermanyA leading Israeli Nazi-hunter has deplored the release of former death camp guard John Demjanjuk, hours after a German court convicted him of helping to kill at least 28,000 people.
Efraim Zuroff, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's Israel office, said the release of Demjanjuk pending an appeal against his conviction Thursday and sentence of five years imprisonment, rendered meaningless the long process of his extradition from the United States and eventual trial.
"The release of Demjanjuk is deplorable and is an insult to his victims," Zuroff told AFP on Friday.
