SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian court on Thursday ruled that a Chilean woman accused of kidnapping seven people during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet must be extradited to face the charges, rejecting her legal appeal.

Adriana Rivas, aged in her late 60s, has been in custody since her arrest by New South Wales state police in 2019 after a request from the South American country for her extradition. She left Chile in 1978 and worked as a cleaner in Sydney before her arrest, according to local media reports.
