Niels Holck, also known as Kim Peter Davy and Niels Christian Nielsen (born 1961) is a Danish author known for his alleged role in the Purulia arms drop case in India. He is the author of book ''De kalder mig terrorist'' (''They call me Terrorist''). He claims to have been involved in a 14-year journey from 1982 that involved building schools in Guatemala, agricultural projects in India and attending tiger conferences in Russia. He is currently the manager of a company which sells houseboats. 〔 〕 ==Terrorism claims== (詳細はred corner notice by Interpol. Around 1995 he was involved in humanitarian work for the people in West Bengal, which at that time was governed by the Communist Party of India. The authorities claim that he was involved in smuggling of weapons. He admits as much himself in his book "They Call me A Terrorist", claiming that he made the weapon drop from a plane purchased in Latvia. Apparently his motives were to help the local communities in West Bengal fight the oppression brought on them by their government. A total of 4 tonnes of arms were trafficked during his dealings in West Bengal. Additionally, in 2010 Danish police confiscated two forged and expired passports with British names and the photo of Niels Holck whilst searching his home.〔 In 2002 the Justice Minister Lene Espersen stated that he could not face extradition. As of 2009 he is considered the second Dane together with Camilla Broe at risk of being extradited to a country outside the European Union where he faces a possible death sentence. Camilla Broe was indicted for the importation of narcotics into the United States and while extradited and delivered to US custody was later returned to Denmark when the statute of limitations barred an expeditious trial.〔(Camilla Broe Acquitted but Stuck in the US )〕 April 9, 2010, Danish police arrested him in order to start an extradition trial.〔(Skal straffes i Indien ), Jan Lauridtsen, BT, April 9, 2010 〕 Based on experiences from the fiasco in the Camilla Broe case the prosecution will demand detention but will accept a confiscation of his passport(s) if the court feels that the rather lengthy extradition process will prevent him from keeping contact with his family. The extradition agreement between Denmark and India has been changed so he will have to be returned home no later than 3 weeks after a sentence has been given at the expected trial abroad.〔(Dommere har det sidste ord om udlevering ), BT, April 9, 2010 〕 On November 1, 2010, The Hillerød Court overturned the Justice Ministry decision to extradite Niels Holck based on the expected inability to protect him against "rough treatment".〔(Court stops Holck extradition to India ), by Julian Isherwood, Politiken, November 1, 2010〕 On November 14, 2010, the Indian government told that they would try to get him extradited despite the clear ruling of the court.〔(Indien opgiver ikke Niels Holck ), by Jeppe Lykke Hansen, TV2, November 14, 2010〕 Among the allegations are that Niels Holck was smuggling weapons to the organisation Ananda Marga. Ananda Marga is an activist socio-spiritual organisation which follows an economic and political philosophy called PROUT. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Niels Holck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
