It's difficult to tell - the U.K. courts until recently had seemed (following heavy lawyering from Assange) to be allowing him to stay in the country under curfew, but this recent ruling seems to overturn that. There was a bit of an outcry last year when it turned out that the U.S. had been performing surveillance around their embassies in Norway, and I remember reading some suggestions at the time that there was actually Norwegian co-operation to some extent - but I'd have to dig back in detail to find the reports. There was also an admission around the same time that similar monitoring had been taking place in Sweden. And finally, one of the Swedish prosecutors raised very early on the possibility of extraditing Assange to the U.S. following prosecution. Here are a few reading references to back these up - as mentioned in this thread, it's far from clear without knowing the full details, but here are some pieces to fill out the context: * Swedish charges leaked http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/02/wikileaks-sweden/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/02/wikileaks-sweden/ * U.S. Surveillance in Norway http://www.newsinenglish.no/2010/11/04/officials-howling-over-us-embassys-secret-surveillance-in-norway/ http://www.newsinenglish.no/2010/11/04/officials-howling-ove... * Similar surveillance admission in Sweden http://www.thelocal.se/30062/20101106/# http://www.thelocal.se/30062/20101106/# * Prosecutor's suggestions regarding extradition from Sweden to U.S. http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/14/swedish-prosecutor-raises-possible-extradition-of-wikileaks-founder-to-u-s/ http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/14/swedish-prosecut...
