Sweden has done some questionable extraditions in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation_of_Ahmed_Agiza_and_Muhammad_al-Zery https://en.wikipedia.

  The previous "CIA scandal" is still very well remembered here, and is just another reason that it won't be repeated. The political fallout would be massive.

    If it happened right now, it'd be forgotten amongst the migrant crisis. Assange is soap opera. Migrant crisis is literally at doorsteps, and has Sweden closing borders.

      Migrants at least use condoms when they rape Swedish girls. /s

        We've banned this account for repeatedly violating the HN guidelines despite repeated requests not to do that.

    Like the political fallout of downing the presidential plane of an other nation, breaking the standing rules of immunity and inviolability. No nation, especially three of the largest nations in Europe at the same time, would ever dare to do that. Political fallout from actions taken in the war against whistleblowers has so far been quite minimal.

  While that was a regrettable error, you can't really compare repatration with extradition.
