- eru 13y agoNorway and Sweden don't seem too bad.
- mpyne 13y agoAssange apparently disagrees.
- eru 13y agoFrom what I remember, he would be fine with being tried in a Swedish court. He just wanted a guarantee of no US extradition, that Sweden would not provide.
- lawnchair_larry 13y agoQuite the opposite. He has been asking Sweden to guarantee that he will not be extradited to the US, and in return he will face trial in Sweden. They are still trying to negotiate this. He has criticisms about what has happened in Sweden, no doubt. But it's the prospect of going near a US prison that is the non-starter, and the basis of his asylum.
- jrokisky 13y agoThat might be the case, but what is right and fair are incredibly subjective and constantly changing.
