Polanski breaks silence on American extradition threat

Film director Roman Polanski has broken his silence to decry the US for seeking his extradition from Switzerland on a 33-year-old child sex case.

The Oscar-winner said prosecutors wanted him to return so they could serve him “on a platter to the media”.

Wow, I wonder why the Americans want to oppress you so badly. Oh wait:

Polanski has been under house arrest in Switzerland since September facing a US arrest warrant over his conviction for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.

Goddammit.
