Karlsruhe, Germany  - Germany's highest court rejected Wednesday a challenge by John Demjanjuk, 89, to his deportation from the United States to Germany in May.

Demjanjuk is likely to be indicted next month on charges that he helped as an auxiliary SS guard to drive 29,000 Jews into gas chambers in a Nazi death camp at Sobibor in occupied Poland in 1943.

Justices of the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe ruled that Demjanjuk had not identified any particular rights under German constitutional law which had been breached through his removal to Germany.

He is currently being kept in the sick bay of a Munich prison. Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk lived most of his life in the United States. (doa)
