Portugal, a member of the EU has an extradition treaty with India, where criminals can be killed by the state. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-Portugal-sign...

Abu Salem was actually extradited from Portugal to India before this treaty existed

That's not a refutation of what he said.

EU countries also extradite to the US. But only after the US assure that in the specific case the death penalty will be neither sought nor imposed.

A quote from the link:

> The treaty with Portugal comes after India accepted its two main conditions that the extradited person would not face either a death sentence or life imprisonment beyond 25 years.
