He was charged for skipping bail. People shouldn't skip bail unless they feel the court won't give them a fair trial. UK courts give people fair trials (or in this case a fair extradition hearing). He promised to the court to stay at home, so he was released from jail on bail. He then broke that promise. 7 years ago the argument was "Assange shouldn't be extradited to Sweden because Sweden would extradite him to the U.S" [1] This was bullshit, if the U.S. wanted to extradite, they could do that just as easily in the UK as in Sweden, and they've now proven that. Further his argument was he would face torture and/or the death penalty [2] UK won't extradite him for any reason 1) unless the U.S. files an extradition request (they have now, it's not hard to do), 2) that's approved by a U.K court, which means looking into chances of inhumane treatment, death penalty, etc. Sweden has the same rules. All of these facts are consistent with what people were saying first thing this morning and yesterday.
