On January 17, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and rejected  the argument of Nizar Trabelsi, a Tunisian national convicted in Belgium, that his extradition by Belgium violated the non bis in idem principle.
