British court approves extradition Assange of WikiLeaks

A judge Thursday approved the request of British Sweden extradition Julian Assange, even if the founder of WikiLeaks crenellations of appeal.

District judge Howard Riddle rejected arguments that not having Assange a fair trial in Sweden due to the custom of the country of printing and the public from sexual assault trials. Riddle also said this is a "reasonable assumption" that Assange "was deliberately avoid interrogation" before the period left Sweden when prosecutors were in talks with his lawyer in questioning him ...

Assange has seven days to appeal the judgment. If he does call, extradition could proceed in 10 days, said Riddle while reading of the judgment in Belmarsh security unit Magistrates ' Court in the South-East London.

The Australian 39-year-old is accused of illegal coercion, sexual harassment and rape incidents with two women last August that were consensual Assange supports. He still has not been charged by the Swedish prosecutor, a fact its lawyers used to argue against extradition. If he is convicted and sentenced, Assange could face a maximum of four years in prison.

Assange attorneys suggest even during the two-day-a-half extradition hearing earlier this month that Sweden's pursuit of continuous Assange is connected to the release of some diplomatic cables WikiLeaks 250,000 for U.S. secret.

Assange was free on bail since December on condition that he surrender his passport, wear an electronic monitoring device and regularly check in with the police. Assange was staying a manor in the East of England possessed by Vaughan Smith, founder of Frontline Club journalism organization.

The Attorney General of the United States said that assange was under investigation to determine if he played a role in illegally obtaining U.S. classified material, but no charge has been filed. Cable release of WikiLeaks has provoked strong statements from some U.S. politicians on the right: former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee called for the death penalty for those who have published the cables, while the former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told Assange should be driven with the same urgency as al-sina'a ida and Q a Taliban leaders.

Assange's legal Team seized on comments, saying that if Assange was extradited, Sweden would face intense pressure from the United States. However, if the United States filed a request for extradition by Sweden, the UK Government should give its approval to extradition.
