Cleveland – Returning an Ohio man accused of being a Nazi concentration camp guard to his native Ukraine would be like throwing him “into a shark tank,” his attorney argued in court Tuesday.
John Demjanjuk, 85, has been fighting for decades to stay in this country, and his attorney said he should not be sent to the Ukraine because he could face torture.
But the Justice Department said Demjanjuk has not shown he would be mistreated.
Demjanjuk lost his U.S. citizenship after a judge ruled in 2002 that documents from World War II prove he was a Nazi guard at various death or forced-labor camps. Tuesday’s hearing was part of a process for determining whether he will be deported.
