Dit is ook wel interessant trouwens (uit hetzelfde artikel):

M.a.w., Zweden moet een echte, 'bewezen' aanklacht hebben tegen Assage. Overlevering vragen om hem alleen te verhoren is niet voldoende.

Propaganda dus.

4.55pm: Big news if true: Swedish prosecutors will not appeal, according to ABC's Jim Sciutto.

quote:

4.59pm: More from Stephens about Assange's prospects of freedom:

It is impossible to say how long it will take before Mr Assange is out. The problem is that £200,000 can't be paid in by cheque because cheques take seven days to clear. We have to go around to find money in cash. Until this court is in possession of £200,000, an innocent man stays in jail.

Stephens trotted out the adjectives to describe the conditions that Assange is being held – he used the words Orwellian, Dickensian and Victorian.

quote:

4.46pm: The Swedish process is an abusive process, Stephens claimed, adding that supporting material for the case had still not been provided. Assange will remain in jail until tomorrow or Thursday unless £200,000 in cash can be found. If the cash is stumped up, he will be freed.

Stephens said bail conditions involved Assange staying in a particular location so he could be geo-located with an electronic tag.

He is being kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours, Stephens said. His mail is not getting through and he is not being allowed to read newspapers. He said Assange was worried about his colleagues at WikiLeaks.

Waarom heeft de zelfgekroonde koning van de politieke correctheid en vriend van Afrika meneer Bono nog geen uitspraak gedaan over Wikileaks vraag ik me ineens af. Wikileaks heeft veel gedaan tegen de Corruptie daar.

5.12pm: Stephens says the court will meet again at 5.15pm. At that point, the Swedish authorities will make it clear whether they will launch an appeal.

[...]
Around three people per day are now extradited from the UK, and there is little to suggest that the majority are terrorists or serious criminals. In fact those involved in the process agree that many of the cases are "trivial".

This month I watched proceedings in Westminster magistrates' court as Jacek Jaskolski, a disabled 58-year-old science teacher, fought an EAW issued against him by his native Poland. Jaskolski also the primary carer for his disabled wife has been in the UK since 2004. His crime? Ten years ago, when he still lived in Poland, Jaskolski went over his bank overdraft limit.

There are instances when unauthorised bank borrowing can have criminal elements, but this is not one of them. The bank recovered the money, and there is no allegation of dishonesty. A similar case in Britain would be a civil, not a criminal, matter.

But it is a criminal offence in Poland, where every criminal offence has to be investigated and prosecuted, no matter how trivial. As a result Poland requested 5,000 extraditions last year alone, accounting for 40% of all those dealt with by Britain. By contrast the UK made just 220 requests.

In 2008 a Polish man was extradited for theft of a dessert from a restaurant, using a European arrest warrant containing a list of the ingredients. People are being flown to Poland in specially chartered planes to answer charges that would not be thought worthy of an arrest in the UK, while we pick up the tab for police, court, experts' and lawyers' time to process a thousand cases a year. This whole costly system is based on the assumption that the criminal justice systems of countries such as Poland are reasonable enough that it is worth complying with all their requests.
[...]
In both the Assange and the Jaskolski cases the EAW is set on a collision course where the labyrinthine world of EU mutual recognition meets the reality of defendants' rights. And suddenly the mutual confidence that the public are meant to have in the criminal justice systems of other EU states in Sweden's immunity from pursuing a politically motivated rape claim, or Poland's ability to be reasonable does not seem to exist after all.
