"This should not be seen as a sign of disrespect," she said. Under both international and British law, an asylum procedure would have precedence over extradition request. "Mr. Assange is faced with serious problems. His life and his freedom as well as the lives and freedom of its organization and its affiliated persons are at stake."

Julian Assange may be extradited to Sweden

Supreme Court of British

Julian Assange: Extradition to Sweden is well before
Julian Assange has failed in his request for a review of the extradition decision in the UK to Sweden. The judge rejected a last request of the attorneys-founder of Wikileaks.

London - The Supreme Court has ruled Britain: Julian Assange's appeal against his extradition to Sweden will not be reopened. Thus, the Wikileaks founders are delivered. The Swedish prosecutor wants to question Assange, because to him there will be accused of sexual harassment and rape.

Assange's lawyers had asked the Supreme Court that the case is heard in the light of further documents again. The court had the defense in the court reaches the end of May given the opportunity to make this request.
The reason for the delay: Sex-defense had objected that the verdict of the judges at many places on the Vienna Convention applies. This was at the hearing were not previously considered.

Observers had expected the judgment of the Supreme Court. Had the judge decided otherwise, it would have the system of the European arrest warrant called into question. It is based on the principle that European courts may rely on the justice of the partner countries - even without the allegations examined. This works only if there is no doubt about the trustworthiness of a judicial authority in another EU country.

Julian Assange has announced several weeks ago that he was in doubt before the European Court of Human Rights pull. A suspensive effect would such an action is not. Following his extradition to Sweden Assange will probably be remanded in custody. The prosecution will question him and then decide whether to set at liberty or against him will be charged.

Extradition to the United States

Julian Assange: Deadline for the delivery takes place today

Julian Assange (2010 in Norway)

This Saturday is the ten-day time limit for the extradition of WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange in Sweden. Given the fact that Assange still staying at the Embassy of Ecuador, where he was on 19 June refuge is questionable whether the British authorities can do anything to meet the deadline.

The Ecuadorian government still discusses about Wikileaks application for political asylum. When will it come to a decision is unclear.

The deadline of this Saturday it is clear from the judgment of the Supreme Court rejected this on 14 June Wikileaks from application to reopen the extradition proceedings and decreed that the process of delivery should begin earlier than 14 days after the verdict. From this date onwards we have the provisions in ten days to extradite Assange. A spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutor, Karin Rosander, confirmed to the U.S. news channel CNN that today's Saturday marked the expiration of the period.

Assange compares government monitoring with cancer

In an interview with the moral philosopher Peter Singer, Julian
Assange said the mission of Wikileaks. He defended the actions of the
project with the publication of the embassy dispatches, and criticism
at the same time the ever-escalating surveillance efforts by the
authorities. This resembled a "undetected cancer," said Assange.

The interview was conducted for the new German journal "Philosophy
Magazine," whose first edition was published on Wednesday. Assange
stressed that the publication of secret embassy dispatches by
WikiLeaks ("Cable Gate") during the past year have contributed to
overcoming dictatorships in North Africa. They also have the U.S. and
Europe made it difficult, "dictatorial regime to provide assistance
and also to act as if they were the practices of this regime is not
clear."

Singer warned, however: "Any information whose release a clear and
imminent danger means should remain secret." He called for a careful
consideration of how much transparency is desirable, and creating and
maintaining a regulatory framework. "If the release of certain
information could trigger a disaster, they should be banned, even if
they are otherwise the concept of a more transparent democracy, help
us to better government or corruption would bring to light," said the
moral philosopher.

Assange sees it slightly differently. He supports the prevention of
transparency through compulsory measures only when a hazard or damage
had already occurred and could not be detected, indicative of a mere
suspicion. He said in the interview also, by the publications of
WikiLeaks is not one person died.

Assange called WikiLeaks in the conversation as an "attempt to make
everyone the maximum of true information about its environment
available." How successful WikiLeaks and he represents the model of
transparency will eventually receive it, he dares not a prediction,
because the amount of public information is growing less rapidly than
the amount of private information in the hands of authorities, and
information. "The surveillance authorities and have them collaborating
with companies increased and spread out like an undetected cancer,"
the WikiLeaks chief criticized in his usual direct kind

Julian Assange specifies an appeal against extradition

Julian Assange specifies an appeal against extradition: AMD CEO wants
to move before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom

Wikileaks boss Julian Assange continues to fight against his
extradition to Sweden. He now wants to move before the Supreme Court
of the United Kingdom and to appeal against the verdict of the London
High Court. He had already announced this after the verdict was
announced early November 2011.

The London High Court had decided in early November 2011, that Assange
can be extradited to Sweden where he will be interrogated for alleged
sexual offenses. The court rejected an appeal to the Wikileaks bosses
against the verdict in the first instance by the end of February
From 2011.

Assange draws in the UK so all legal means against his extradition to
Sweden. Negotiated so that the case before the Supreme Court is,
however, he must establish that his case is of public importance. If
the judges accept his reasoning, would the Supreme Court dealing with
the case, writes the British daily The Guardian.

On the admissibility of the objection must first decide on the High
Court. The hearing is for the 5th December 2011 set. If the court
rejects the application of Assange, he would be delivered within ten
days in Sweden.

The allegations against the Wikileaks founders were known in
mid-August 2010th Two women display reimbursed against him for sexual
harassment and rape. In December 2010, he introduced himself to the
police in London, after having issued a European arrest warrant
against him. After a short time in custody he stands on the estate of
a supporter in the East of England under house arrest.

Assange had always rejected the charges and a conspiracy against him
and the unveiling of Wikileaks said. He fears that he could be
extradited from Sweden to the United States and prosecuted there
because of his activities at Wikileaks. Wikileaks had published, among
other things as unclassified U.S. material on the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq as well as confidential U.S. embassy dispatches.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange loses appeal process

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has lost his appeal against
extradition process in Sweden and can now apply for a new appointment
within two weeks. Sex-environment is concerned that the 40-year-old
from Sweden could be extradited from the United States.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has lost his appeal against
extradition process in Sweden. The High Court in London on Wednesday
upheld a decision by the lower court and dismissed the argument of the
defense, the extradition was "unjust and illegal". Assange can now
request within two weeks, a new appeal to the Supreme Court.

"We will consider in the coming days about our next steps," Assange
said after the verdict. Sweden wants to hear Assange Justice into
allegations of sexual harassment and rape. He should have had in
August 2010 with two Swedes, without their consent is unprotected
sexual intercourse. Assange denies this and look into the allegations
of a political conspiracy. Wikileaks had taken, including through the
publication of confidential dispatches to the U.S. Washington's wrath
upon himself.

Lawyers for the Wikileaks founder had argued that the warrant from
Sweden was invalid because it was not by the prosecutor and issued by
a court. They had also argued that the crimes Assange in Sweden are
accused under British law, no such crimes were. Third, they argued
that a warrant was therefore unnecessary, because Assange should only
be interviewed and was not indicted. Finally, they had classified the
arrest as disproportionate, since Assange had offered his interview
via video conference.

The two competent judges rejected all four points. Assange took note
of the verdict calmly and went during his notes. A lower court had
ordered Wikileaks delivery in February, the Australians had appealed.
Now he has 14 days to request a further appeal before the Supreme
Court. Of its approval, but must choose either the Supreme Court or
the High Court. Under British law a renewed appeal is only possible if
there is a case to a particular public interest.

Sex-environment is concerned that the 40-year-old from Sweden could be
extradited from the United States. "Now is the extradition of Julian
to the United States still nearer," said his mother Christine Assange
by the Australian news agency AAP. There, he would be "tortured," she
said and called on the Australian people to put pressure on the
government. The Australians would have to stand up for Assange,
because he "has used the world to bring the truth to light" itself.

Accused the two women who Assange rape and sexual harassment
responded, according to her lawyer, however, with relief on the
verdict. "They are to some extent relieved," said Claes Borgström the
Swedish news agency TT. It was difficult for the two women had to
"live with this uncertainty." According to him, the alleged victims
were attacked verbally and in Internet networks. Assange's Swedish
lawyer Björn Hurtig said TT, the court's decision did not surprise
him. "This was not unexpected, but of course it was bad news for
Assange."
