For some frequently asked questions, from Assange's side of things, as it seems as if a few people here haven't heard about Assange before on Hacker News, take a look at the FAQ section halfway down this page (you can skip the top bit if you are somewhat familiar) https://justice4assange.com/ https://justice4assange.com/ It's also worth a look at some of the arguments here: https://justice4assange.com/extraditing-assange.html https://justice4assange.com/extraditing-assange.html (edits: made the above clearer that the FAQs were from Assange's side)

I'm not sure Assange's own site is the best source for unbiased facts on the case. Here's the other side: http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/media/2012/09/legal-mythology-extradition-julian-assange http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/media/2012/09/legal-mythol... [Edit: tone]

  Thank you for that link - I haven't come across a well researched analysis of all of the entire legal history up to this point. I'd say this was required reading before commenting here.
