THE EXTRADITION HEARING of Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange began today.
He arrived at London’s High Court this morning after it was ruled in February at Belmarsh Magistrate’s Court that he be extradited.
Swedish prosecutors want Assange extradited to Sweden from the United Kingdom so that they can question him about allegations of sexual misconduct in August 2010.
He has not been charged with a crime and denies the rape and sexual assault allegations, which were made by two women.
CNN reports that Judge Howard Riddell dismissed the defence arguments, which were made on procedural and human rights grounds, and said that the allegations are extraditable offences.
The judge also said that the European arrest warrant for Assange was valid and that it was “untrue” to claim that Assange would not be able to get a fair trial in Sweden.

Hope for her families sake they get some answers
It can not be easy searching dense undergrowth and woodland especially after the horrendous weather conditions we have endured so if any thing is found which might shed light on this disappearance then it would be remiss of the gardai not to attempt to examine possible links and this according to the article is what they are attempting to do, so comments which try to belittle these actions are petty,if the reverse of this was the case, the gardai would be criticised and called out for being inept, the good news , if any, is that three separate reports of activity concerning these woods and Tina’s case are reported in the papers today .
That could be anything really .. needle in a haystack
@cormac o neill: cool story maybe, just maybe that’s why they sent it for testing!
@Ohhh_reeally: read the article, they say the exact same themselves
Really hope they find her as must be agonizing for her family not knowing either way….
Not looking to good..very sad.
@owen kirwan:
Sure, let’s bring back phrenology as a legal argument.
Why are comments open on this story but closed on any story relating to the Tallaght scrotes knocking down Lidl????
@Universal Soldier:
There’s not even any evidence that a crime has been committed yet – it’s currently a missing person search.
Please. It’s unbelievably obvious what happened. Nobody is being fooled by Richard Satchwell, and the sooner he is put away – preferably for the rest of his pitiful life – the better.
I believe that The Tina Satchel is in the hands of drugs lords that is where the large sum of money went to That is why he is so sure of himself He knows where she is and is biding his time Very crafty disgusting man Remember he harps on about her depression
have your say
