Then he'll be fine in Sweden, the Swede's won't extradite anyone who will face the death penalty. See here: http://www.sweden.gov.se/content/1/c6/01/54/35/7780

Then he'll be fine in Sweden, the Swede's won't extradite anyone who will face the death penalty. See here: http://www.sweden.gov.se/content/1/c6/01/54/35/77809ec6.pdf http://www.sweden.gov.se/content/1/c6/01/54/35/77809ec6.pdf. Page 3, Section 12, Point 3. Worth noting that this is the text of the "THE EXTRADITION FOR CRIMINAL OFFENCES ACT (1957:668)", rather than some statement of government position and therefore is binding in Swedish law. The government simply couldn't send him to the US without suitable assurances.

Let's post this again for the cheap seats shall we! So renditioning for torture: http://www.hrw.org/news/2006/11/09/sweden-violated-torture-b.. http://www.hrw.org/news/2006/11/09/sweden-violated-torture-b.... And life imprisonment in somewhere like GITMO (a la Bradley Manning) is just fine I suppose! Oh yes, I'm sure if you were Assange you'd feel SO much better now! Wake the fuck up! Law as written bears NO resemblance to what happens in practice (when it doesn't suit the Powers That Be), and that is just a very small part of what Assange is fighting against. Goddamn it gets tiring having to persuade/enlighten people who don't even realise Assange and Wikileaks are highting THEIR BATTLE for them! Show some bloody gratitude and at least educate yourself about the realities of this sordid world we live in. I think its the LEAST you can do to say thanks to people who ARE actually putting their life on the line for these principles.
