The founder of the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange, will be sent to Sweden to face sex crime charges. A London Court has just ruled that Stockholm’s extradition bid has been successful. Lawyers for Assange have a week to appeal Thursday’s decision. Speaking to reporters outside the court in London, Assange said he would appeal the ruling and criticised the European arrest warrant system. He described the ruling as a “rubber stamping process that comes as no surprise but is none the less wrong”.
Did the lawyers appeal the decision? Where is Assange now?
I can’t find an update, all I get is old reports from 24 Feb 2011.
@WTC7SMOKINGUN I disagree, Jullian should release all the Wiki files, irresponsibly and unreservedly. He gave the “powers that be” the option of vetting the material and he’s going to get screwed? Fuck that. Expose the corruption. Expose the fraudulent bankers. Expose them all.
@NakedLadyMudFlap Are you kidding me? He did nothing wrong!!! He was not even the one to steal the files! Someone just gave him the source material and all he is doing is posting these documents for the world to see how corrupt the US really is.
Just think before you say something so ignorant.
@NakedLadyMudFlap Man you really are a dumbfuck. He did nothing wrong. The US is only going after them because he is pulling the veil off of the the corrupt administration in the US so everyone can see what it really is.
Why this guy became so popular in the U.S. is beyond me…his “info” doesn’t really help resolve anything, all it does is create controversy and mayhem amongst citizens and there governments. I really would like to know what his intentions are and what he thinks will change in the world in the next 10 years from his “WikiLeaks” and ideas.
Britain is so a US 10$ whore for extradition’ Assange?
@rossapher
He is the spokesperson for wikileaks, so he gets the media attention.
Wikileaks has shown itself capable of challenging the way the global power game is played, it didn’t just suddenly happen when the diplomacy cable got out, it has been going on long before that.
Simply put, secrets, especially big secrets, is hidden because someone is afraid of relieving the truth.
If the truth is negative, the world will not become better by covering it up. A lot of vested power is against truth.
@NakedLadyMudFlap you must work for the government, but i do understand. i mean i would be mad too if i had one of the few jobs left in the entire country of the united states, and then some random dude exposed the lies of my employer that were used to manipulate the masses. im glad that you enjoy being manipulated.
Julian seems and is so sensitive,listen to the way he speaks,he’s a real man,the real truth!
he’s not only intelligent and brilliant but also sexy .. god i’d fuck him without condom !!
@VIMrussia
Something needs to be done soon or else shit is going to hit the fan.
There is no sense or reasoning with the USG. USG only understands fear, guns and violence. So violence must be the method of making the USG obey it’s people.
Any other ideas? Maybe a good long letter to your senator?.>> Failure.
Ummm maybe a protest. As long as you dont get what you protest for, it cool.
Orderly dissent has never changed a damed thing. The USG are out of control. Worse than Hitler.
@WTC7SMOKINGUN You miss the point. Cutting a deal means you’re giving in to their criminality. Assange isn’t trying to save his arse, he’s trying to save Freedom Of Speech and what’s left of the tattered Western democratic system.He knows that it may take his persecution and ultimate extradition to the US and extended imprisonment to make people wake up and stand up to their despotic governments.
I’m disgusted with the Australian people for not storming Parliament House in his support.
Looks like we need to show up at politicians doors with great masses of people before they will ever change anything. But who cares as long as we have American Idol to watch, right? I hate you sheeple!
The USA (OGRE SAM) is no longer on the moral high ground. The Ogre needs the goodwill of the world to get out of a poor financial position. Instead the Ogre is getting more wild. Death throes of the Ogre, I think. The Nazis burnts more and more bodies of the innocent Jews towards the end of the war. USA (Ogre Sam) is behaving in the same way, here.
al-Qaeda loves Assange! death to jews and christians!
I can’t believe this guy is still out there on the run. If we can nail Bin Laden surely we can take out Assange. I mean, use the Navy Seals if we have to.
@AmerikanPatriot dumb american…
This man is a straight up hero. Anyone who spreads the truth must be known as nothing but such.
Media Whore. This man uses people just like a polictican. I guess thats what happens when you put your trust into a fucking gypsy!
I am jew-leigh- Ann assange
@BarryDong He made the case. If he had done a blood test to proove that he’s not guilty it wouldn’t have been this big media story. He makes himself look like the good guy and knowing that most he suffer a small fee if he’s been charged guilty in Sweden. What’s funny is that before this he said that Sweden was the best country in the world etc etc. All they want is a freakin blood test! Do it and be done! It’s rape in Sweden if you have sex without condom and refuse too test yourself after.
@Ojje It is allso illeagal in brittain. He’s a media whore or he has something to hide ( disease ).
@krisstopher07 who the fuck are you to say that?
@Ojje He is inicent… How you even read the blog to the “rape victim” searc for it on google. She even deleted every tweet after they had sex…. They where positiv..
@firstdicehawk I’m not exactly sure what you are saying. But yes she/they have said that she wasn’t forced to have sex or that she didn’t like it. THOUGH later on she wanted him to test himself after speaking with another woman who have had sex with him. He refused, so they went to the police too see if they could force him to take a test. When they did this the police had no choice but to file charges against him even though the women didn’t want that (they just wanted him to test himself).
