A supporter of former Italian guerrilla Cesare Battisti protests during his hearing outside the Brazilian Supreme Court in Brasilia November 12, 2009. Brazil's supreme court will decide whether to extradite the former left-wing guerrilla to Italy after the case triggered a diplomatic dispute earlier this year. Battisti, who belonged to a guerrilla group called "Armed Proletarians for Communism" is wanted in Italy on four murder charges from the 1970s. The words read, "The Supreme Court's farce.
