That may be reason to force the plane to land when over US territories, but not in the EU. It's the EU who is at fault here however, for once again showing it has no balls.
- ceejayoz 10y agoThe EU has extradition treaties with the US.
- jonlucc 10y agoDo extradition treaties cover forcing diplomatic planes to land with no evidence aside from rumor that a person of interest is on the plane?
- goldenkey 10y agoSince these extradition treaties are not public record, all we can go on, is events. So apparently, yes.
- grogenaut 10y agoFrom what I remember Assanged attempted to get diplomatic license (become a diplomat for, don't know the technical term) from Ecuador but did not. There he can't get in a car and none of that stops the cops from setting up a large traffic jam till said car runs out of gas and assange has to walk. I'm not sure if there is diplomatic immunity for a tow truck.
- Crespyl 10y agoThe image of Assange trapped in an out-of-gas diplomatic car, being towed behind a beat up truck driven by a very amused blue-collar driver on the way to the airport sounds rather like something from a Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett novel.
