    Minister Issues Extradition Order For Suspect In Aquash Murder

    Federal Justice Minister Vic Toews has ordered the extradition of former
    Yukoner John Graham, who is wanted in the United States for the 1976 murder of
    Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq activist Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.
    John Graham has been accused of a 30-year-old murder in the United States.

    Aquash was shot in the back of the head at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
    in South Dakota.
    Graham, who now lives in Vancouver, was a member of the American Indian
    Movement, as was Aquash, at the time she was killed. He was arrested for the
    murder in December 2003.
    In 2005, the B.C. Supreme Court decided that Graham should be sent to the
    U.S. to face the charges.
    The extradition order issued Thursday by the federal government follows that
    up.
    Graham's lawyer Greg Delbigio says Graham will launch a joint appeal on both
    the extradition order and the court decision.
    Delbigio said he expects a court date for the appeal will be set Friday.
    He will also ask the B.C. Court of Appeal that Graham be granted an extension
    of his bail.
