Friday is a big day for Julian Assange

DAY TWO of Julian Assange's Swedish extradition hearing saw no outcome at Belmarsh magistrate's court with Friday remaining for final arguments to be heard.

The Wikileaks founder's lawyers have been going over the to-ing and fro-ing between Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny and the Assange camp and whether or not Assange left Sweden after he was told he could be arrested.

His team from law firm Finers Stephens and Innocent had already posted the entire defence argument on the company's website. Today the examination of the paper trail between Swedish authorities and Assange's lawyers came down to reconstructing weeks of text messages.

The Swedish prosecutor took three weeks at one stage to contact Assange for questioning and on another occasion a failed attempt to meet for questioning saw a Swedish tabloid contact the Wikileaks founder to ask why.

One of the difficulties in arranging an interview in late September, the defence's legal team claimed, was because US politicians had called for the Wikileaks leader's assassination, which saw Assange go into hiding because of his fears that there might be attempts on his life. µ
