Wikileaks chief Julian Assange can be extradited to Sweden, British court rules

-- Britain's Supreme Court has endorsed the extradition of WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange to Sweden, bringing the secret-spilling Internet activist a big step closer to prosecution in a Scandinavian court.

Assange, 40, has spent the better part of two years fighting attempts to send him to the Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning in *** crime allegations. He has not been charged there.

The U.K. side of that struggle appeared to come to a messy end Wednesday, with the nation's highest court ruling 5-2 that the warrant seeking his arrest was properly issued - and Assange's lawyer arguing that the case should be reopened.

Supreme Court President Nicholas Phillips, speaking for the majority, acknowledged that Assange's case "has not been simple to resolve," but that the court had ultimately concluded that "the request for Mr. Assange's extradition has been lawfully made and his appeal against extradition is accordingly dismissed."

Assange won't be sent to Sweden immediately no matter what happens. His lawyer, Dinah Rose, stood up after the verdict to say that court's ruling was based on evidence that was not argued during the appeal, requesting time to study the verdict further with an eye toward trying to reopen the case.

Phillips said he would give Rose two weeks to decide.

Given how the Straudd Kahn thing disintegrated, and the fact the woman involved was publicly enjoying herself in Assange's company AFTER the rape was alleged, it's a bit fishy.

Swedish law is fishy when it comes to rape.

It's a bit surprising that it was a split decision.

Pun not intended. Swedish law when it comes to rape is strange to say the least, and it's not worthy of a modern Western European nation. I don't put blogs high up n the information pedestal, but this one explains it rather well;

Yeah I was aware of that. I just figured your comment for "typical" Norway vs Sweden laughs...

I watched a program about Swedish prison. They profiled a "recovering rapist" that had the typical run of the place, no bars, television, private shower, kitchen, so basically an apartment. He was monitored during the day by a young blond female prison guard. I was so cool watching the two of them eat meals together.

I don't know how Assange will survive in there...I say let's find a way to send him to prison in Australia.
