Some legal aspects of extradition of Assange from Sweden to the United States

Flashback by: Aleksanterinkatu 

Here are some legal aspects of extradition of Assange from Sweden to the United States.

In Sweden, the government decides on extradition. The government, however, is to some extent bound by the court order. If HD finds that "prevent extradition is" under Extradition Act to get the government does not decide to disclose to the person concerned. Therefore, the government can not in advance provide guarantees for other countries to release a person. To provide such a guarantee would be intruding on judicial decision area.

How long will Sweden keep pretending that this is a non issue?

Assange at the UN: Stop chasing WikiLeaks

The pressure is on Sweden to come up with a solution

Citat:
Assange and the Ecuadorean government argue that if he goes to Sweden to face the sexual assault allegations against him, he could be extradited from there to the US to face politically-motivated prosecution. The Sydney Morning Herald has published what it described as declassified US air force counter-intelligence reports which designated Assange and WikiLeaks as "enemies of the United States", the same legal category as al-Qaida and the Taliban.

Disclosure of Sweden require British approval, but according Tuscanas investigation earlier in the thread, it is sufficient enough that the relevant government minister says yes. Current British government will hardly say no.
