Assange Loses Latest Round In Extradition Fight

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-the-travel's-free dept.

Richard_at_work writes "After losing his appeal to the UK Supreme Court a couple of weeks ago, Assange's lawyer was given leave to seek a reopening of the case on particular grounds — the UK Supreme Court has now rejected those grounds and upheld its earlier ruling that Assange should be extradited, which could happen in the next few days."

    I don't want to live in a world where people fear the truth. As you can see, it is a problem that the lies only get bigger and bigger. Assange shouldn't fear going to court to display the truth. But everyone knows its just a stunt to get him put away.

    There are allegations.
    Mostly withdrawn.
    There is no indictment.
    Required for extradition.
    You presume guilt.
    In the absence of evidence or formal charges in court.

    It looks like Jack Lint is warming up his instruments, in Information Retrieval.

    I'm glad that you endorse and encourage this sort of thing. Let's get Tuttle, next.
