A: You can start by finding a reputable lawyer who is experienced in extradition cases and international law. Legal representation is crucial for her to understand her rights and navigate the complex legal process. You might also consider contacting the embassy or consulate of her home country for additional support and guidance.

It is important to gather any relevant documents and information that could help her case. This includes any evidence that may support her situation or challenge the grounds for extradition. Ensure that her legal team has access to all necessary information to build a strong defense.

Emotional and moral support is just as important during this challenging time. Stay in touch with her, provide encouragement, and keep her informed about any developments. You can also explore organizations that offer support for individuals facing legal issues abroad, as they may provide additional resources and assistance.
