# The High Court in Lilongwe, Malawi, has overturned a magistrate’s decision to extradite pastors Sheppard and Mary Bushiri to South Africa. The couple, facing fraud, theft, and money-laundering charges, fled South Africa in 2020 while out on bail. The court ruled they were denied the right to be heard and found irregularities in the extradition process. The decision halts their return, with the Bushiris maintaining they will only face trial if guaranteed fairness.
