美国公民、左翼捐赠者詹姆斯·钱伯斯因涉嫌向哈马斯转移750万美元而在马德里被监禁，美国已向西班牙提出引渡要求1。钱伯斯的法律团队向西班牙政府提交陈述书，主张美国指控缺乏具体证据，并声称"密谋暴动罪"在西班牙法律中无等同条款，同时批评美国试图将政治抗议行为刑事化1。钱伯斯于2024年7月10日在伊维萨被拘留，美国政府于2024年8月26日向西班牙提交支持材料1。
西班牙部长委员会定于2024年9月22日召开会议，决定是否批准该引渡请求，这意味着有机会在司法阶段前驳回该请求1。人权律师巴尔塔萨·加尔松表示，"如果西班牙允许特朗普政府将人道主义援助刑事化，这将在全欧洲设置令人担忧的先例"1。钱伯斯的搭档、演员兼活动人士斯特拉·施纳贝尔已与西班牙议会多名成员会面推动此事1。此外，理查德·基尔、格蕾塔·通贝里和安吉拉·戴维斯等知名人士签署请愿书支持钱伯斯1。这是美国首次寻求以支持哈马斯的理由引渡美国公民1。
James Chambers, a US citizen and left-wing donor, has been held in Madrid on allegations of money laundering $7.5 million allegedly transferred to Hamas 1. The United States has formally requested Spain's extradition of Chambers, triggering mounting political and legal pressure within the country to block the transfer 1.
Chambers's legal team has submitted a formal statement to the Spanish government arguing that the US charges lack specific evidence of violent conduct and represent an attempt to criminalize political protest 1. The lawyers contend that the conspiracy charge cited by American prosecutors has no equivalent provision under Spanish law 1. Spain's Cabinet of Ministers is scheduled to convene on September 22, 2024, to decide whether to approve the extradition, with the option to reject the request before it reaches the judicial stage 1.
The case has drawn international attention and political support for Chambers. His partner, actress and activist Stella Schnabel, has met with multiple members of Spanish Parliament to build opposition to the extradition 1. Human rights lawyer Baltasar Garzón has warned that approving the request would set "a concerning precedent across all of Europe if Spain allows the Trump administration to criminalize humanitarian aid" 1. Several prominent figures, including Richard Gere, Greta Thunberg, and Angela Davis, have signed a petition supporting Chambers 1. According to the record, this marks the first time the United States has sought to extradite an American citizen on grounds of alleged support for Hamas 1.
