Julian Assange on his extradition appeal

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has waged a year-long battle in Britain to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he would be questioned about sexual assault allegations made by two Swedish women in 2010. A lower court upheld the validity of the Swedish arrest warrant. Assange now awaits an answer to his appeal to the British Supreme Court.
He also fears extradition from Sweden to the US on grounds related to the activities of WikiLeaks. Giving credence to those concerns was the emergence of a confidential email from within the US intelligence community, which revealed that American authorities had drawn up a sealed indictment containing espionage or conspiracy charges against Assange.
