Which is of course a highly suspect claim to make, since both Sweden and the UK do not extradite for crimes that are subject to the death penalty.


That is a pretty grand claim to make, when Sweden has conceded that they have participated in rendition from Sweden to Egypt that was in clear and blatant violation of both Swedish law and international treaties. They were censured by the UN for it. And those are only two cases where they were caught red-handed.


Sweden has done it before with the same laws that exist now. Simply put, there is no punishment if they would extradite Assange to the US.


But of course, they are not extraditing him for those crimes.
