Sweden can give Assange anti-extradition guarantees. Why don't they?

When it comes to the extradition to Sweden of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, the heels of prestige have dug shoulder-deep trenches. The Brits have agreed to extradite him, in accordance with the European Arrest Warrant. Ecuador has granted him political asylum – and since then, he’s stuck on their embassy in London, without being able to leave the building.

The court in exile of Julian Assange – cyber terrorist, or the world’s greatest freedom fighter, depending on your world view – is a curiously muted place. The acolytes who pledged to maintain a protective vigil outside the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he has been encamped since June, are long gone. So, too, is the 50-strong squad of officers who policed his first few hours within the red-brick mansion block where the embassy is housed.

Swedish dereliction of duty not to seize on the forged certificate in Assange-case?

Section 81: Extraneous considerations

Section 81:
Extraneous considerations

The effect of this section is to bar a person's extradition to a category 2 territory if it appears that the request has been issued for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing that person for reasons of his race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or political opinions.

His extradition would also be barred if it appears that he would be prejudiced at trial, or his liberty restricted, for any of the same reasons.

Extradition and abduction

Extradition and abduction

Issues of international law relating to extradition have proven controversial in cases where a state has abducted and removed an individual from the territory of another state without previously requesting permission, or following normal extradition procedures. Such abductions are usually in violation of the domestic law of the country in which they occur, as infringements of laws forbidding kidnapping. Many also regard abduction as violation of international law — in particular of a prohibition on arbitrary detention. A small number of countries have been reported to use kidnapping to circumvent the formal extradition process. Notable or controversial cases include the abduction or attempted abduction of

Ursprungligen postat av espressino No, those days are past when the United States was an enticement, the goal was for my holiday in the sun and was the foundation of my political worldview, it was the fact! Like so many others in my generation, it was they who were of the right stuff.

As true as it was said. It is time that Sweden are beginning to realize this and not involuntarily running U.S. business. The innocent "last-night-with-gang-USA" is long dead but the romanticizing U.S. image remains with way too many people in Sweden. The U.S. is not a role model, whether it be domestic policy, foreign policy, or hypocrisy. It's time that the Swedish government are beginning to realize which way it barks. "Dein papieren" will next be pronounced "Your papers!" and if we continue with the U.S. and NATO passion, it becomes "your papers!" when the authorities must make sure that we are all thinking right.

Assange deal is both a legal and a political disgrace for Sweden, and a result of our politicians, U.S. and NATO craze. We have chosen the side and creeps obediently to 2000s bad guys, just as we crawled the 1940s bad guys. It's getting a nasty Swedish habit this.
