Julian Assange's fight to evade extradition to Sweden appears doomed despite stay of executionhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/julian-assanges-fight-to-evade-extradition-to-sweden-appears-doomed-despite-stay-of-execution-7803769.htmlJulian Assange's fight to evade extradition to
Sweden appeared doomed today though he was given a stay of execution by the highest court in the land. His celebrity-endorsed legal battle trundled on without him as the self-proclaimed champion of truth and transparency remained stuck in London's notorious traffic, undoubtedly disappointing his legion of fans. While vastly diminished in number from the early days of the furore surrounding the WikiLeaks founder, they were as vociferous as ever, penned in outside the Supreme Court yesterday, carrying megaphones, guitars and banners proclaiming “Free Assange” and “God Save Julian” for the sea of cameras brought in by the world's media. Despite missing his day in court, Mr Assange imparted his disappointment at his failed appeal in suitable fashion by tweeting: “We got the news not hoped for.”
