> What bothers me the most is that Assange only crime in the UK is that he had skip bail from a crime without evidence. Yes, but extradition works on the basis that if they committed a crime abroad and it would be a crime in the UK, extradition can typically go ahead. Even if they didn't commit the crime in the UK. > Where is the European Court of Justice ? Human Rights ? The European Court of Justice doesn't hear appeals on extradition. It is a competence reserved solely for Member States. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) might hear an appeal if a Convention right is engaged (e.g. the right not to be tortured) so it is possible that an appeal is lodged after this case if extradition is granted, but Assange first needs to appeal to the High Court and then the Supreme Court if that happens. This is because all domestic remediation routes must be exhausted before the ECtHR will hear a case. In any event, the ECtHR cannot directly block an extradition: they can only order the State to pay damages. The only ultimate court in the UK that can block any extradition is the Supreme Court.
