Recall that he originally fled Sweden to the UK. That is not the actions of a man who fears extradition to the US. That's the exact opposite course of action any sane person would take.
- justinmchase 8y agoHe didn't run to the UK. He waited in Sweden for 5 weeks to be questioned and left after he was told that he was not wanted for questioning.
- ChrisSD 8y agoThis was a lie told by his legal team and later walked back. In court his lawyer admitted the prosecutors had contacted him a week before in order to set up an interview with Assange. > He [Assange's lawyer] then confirmed that on 22nd September 2010 at 16.46 he has a message from Ms Ny saying: “Hello – it is possible to have an interview Tuesday”. Next there was a message saying: > “Thanks for letting me know. We will pursue Tuesday 28th at 1700”. He then accepted that there must have been a text from him. “You can interpret these text messages as saying that we had a phone call, but I can’t say if it was on 21st or 22nd”. Coincidentally* Assange left the country on the 27th. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/Misc/2011/5.html http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/Misc/2011/5.html
