and the text of a warrant of arrest or a

judgment of conviction against that person, a statement of

the penalty for that offence, and such further

(2) An application for

provisional

(3)

بار

The provisional arrest of the person sought shall be

terminated upon the expiration of forty-five days from the

received, unless the requesting Party can justify

continued provisional arrest of the person sought in which

case the period of provisional arrest shall be terminated

upon the expiration of a reasonable time not being more

than a further fifteen days. This provision shall not

prevent the re-arrest or surrender of the person sought if

the request for that

surrender is received
