It seems to be supported by evidence, and has been posted by sources that are trustworthy.

It would be cowardly to post something like this under a pseudonym.

This is the text if the actual Swedish extradition law from the government web site. It clearly states on Page 3, section 12, point 3 that someone can not be extradited if they are to face the death penalty. The Swedes would have to get assurances from the US that this wasn't the case to extradite him.


Kudos for finding the actual law text (where I as a native Swedish speaker gave up after 15 minutes of reading legalese).

"Julian Assange's mother Christine recently tweeted the following facts about extraditions involving the US, the UK, Sweden, and Australia."

So basically, Julian's mom told you so. Okay...


Your flippant rudeness is inappropriate. Sweden has an established history of extraditing on behalf of the US in various illegal fashions. Here is one example: http://www.hrw.org/news/2006/11/09/sweden-violated-torture-b...

Sweden has been breaking international law for some time now, at the USA's behest. As the UN panel noted there is no reason to think Sweden might uphold their own diplomatic assurances as they have been caught violating them repeatedly.


So jmillikin stated that this had been posted by trustworthy sources and then goes on to list Julian's mom as a trustworthy source.

I don't understand in which way I am "flippantly rude" when pointing this out.


A single case does not an established history make.
