Such a step is not necessary, a high-ranking witness told a London court. The defense of the WikiLeaks co-founder made serious allegations against the Swedish justice system. London - ian Assange sat quietly in his seat and made occasional notes, as the former Swedish prosecutor Sven-Erik Alhem appeared before a London court on Tuesday in the trial of the WikiLeaks co-founder - as a witness for Assange.
The Swedish lawyer made it clear that an extradition of Assange from Britain to Sweden to his assessment was necessary. Assange could just as well be interrogated via a video camera in the UK. He does not understand, "why not go to" if the British authorities allowed it said Alhem. The London court was held on Tuesday, the second Anhörungstag to a possible transfer of the Australian to Sweden.
The court adjourned its decision and wishes to continue the hearing on Friday. Whatever the outcome is already expected that the losing side lodges an appeal, so that could drag the final decision for weeks or even months. Alhem on Tuesday also criticized that Assange was clearly identified in the fall, although in rape cases in Sweden is not customary.
The Assange-defense accused the Swedish justice before partisanship. But the other side hung up. Assange was last summer after learning of the rape allegations against him literally fled from Sweden, he was not even accessible from his lawyer. 'When Mr Assange obvious flight risk and it can not be regarded as an overreaction that it be set, "said Clare Montgomery, a British attorney who represents the interests of the Swedish judiciary in the extradition proceedings.
Assange is represented in the process of a whole staff of lawyers from Britain, Australia and Sweden. His Swedish lawyer Bjoern Hurtig presented to the court a written statement on Tuesday. He had never seen in his legal career, hardly a charge that stands on weak legs, it says. It is evident that the two women who each spent as a victim of Assange have something out in the shield.
The argument put forward by the Assange defense fears that their client could in cases of extradition to Sweden later moved to the United States continues where it was threatened with prison camps and the death penalty was, however, the set botene by the defense ex-prosecutor Alhem excessive.
"As far as I understand it, there is not such a risk. But there are concerns that are not aware and I can not comment," he said. The Gothenburg prosecutor accuses Marianne Ny Assange, in Stockholm in August, two women molested and raped one of them to have. This concerns specifically the question of whether Assange has prevailed against the wishes of women and violence, that the fundamentally consensual sex was unprotected.
