Julian Assange To Be Interviewed In London After All

mpawlo writes: The Swedish Director of Public Prosecution Ms Marianne Ny has submitted a request for legal assistance to the English authorities and a request to Ecuadorian authorities regarding permission to interview Julian Assange at Ecuador's embassy in London during June-July 2015. Back in 2010, a warrant was issued in Stockholm, Sweden for WikiLeaks founder and spokesman Julian Assange. Ever since, Assange has found refugee at the embassy of Ecuador in London.

It's obtuse to believe Assange would be extradicted from Sweden to the US. He is currently in the UK which has an extradition treaty with the US. From the UK only 1 country (UK) has to agree. If he goes to Sweden there are two countries that have to agree to extradition: UK & Sweden. It is practically certain that before anything else he will be in Swedish court, and likely then to Swedish prison. And where do you think he is likely to go from there? Back to the UK to answer changes related to his bail jumping and criminal flight from extradition.

The idea that Assange is going to be sent to Sweden to be bounced to the US is in essence a fairy tale that Assange's supporters tell to explain away his avoidance of Swedish justice for his criminal sexual conduct.
