I heard it was because he was a (high-profile) British citizen.

  What difference do you think that would make?

    There would supposedly (IIRC) be certain rules against allowing the extradition of citizens of the commonwealth?

      Not sure if Assange is a UK citizen, but if so they probably reserve the right to revoke citizenship anyway.

  He's Australian.

    I though Australians were British. Seems I am wrong though. Anyone care to enlighten me?
    • _acme 10y ago
      Simple: Australians are not citizens of the United Kingdom. Neither are Canadians, French or Germans. What additional enlightenment is necessary?

        That was enough : )
