AMSTERDAM: Prosecutors called for a Dutchman to be extradited to Canada on charges linked to the cyberbullying of a teenager who committed suicide in 2012, saying her family must see “justice done.” 

They told an Amsterdam court that the suspect – identified by Dutch media as Aydin C. – is accused of harassing and blackmailing 39 girls from different countries on the Internet into performing lewd acts, threatening to post videos of earlier sex acts if they failed to comply.
