No decision on Julian Assange extradition, next hearing 24 February
THE PROSECUTION hit back in the second but not final day of hearings about the Swedish extradition request laid against Julian Assange.
Arguing on behalf of the Swedish prosecution authority, the Crown prosecution at the hearing held again at Belmarsh magistrate's court said that Swedish rape trials are not held in secret, only the evidence was given in secret. Assange's defence had claimed that they are, and said that meant the Wikileaks founder would not get a fair trial.
The prosecution also complained about the fact that a police order was needed to get DNA from the accused and attacked the Assange defence team's claim that the extradition was about rape, because the actual offences charged would be a matter for the Swedish courts.
With all of this excitement, the presiding judge at the magistrate's court has decided to have a third hearing on 24 February and has extended Assange's bail, according to the BBC.
And finally, whether he actually knew it or not, the Swedish Prime Minister has, according to Assange's defence team, helped them by allegedly making comments that would prejudice any prosecution in the land of lovely blonde people. When will they ever learn? µ

Please note these facts about the case:
One of the women is a top politician in the opposition social democrat party. She is also an academic of sorts - the research assistant of a feminist fanatic at the University of Uppsala.
The other woman is a photographer looking for fame - though she has an American boy friend, it is quite possible that he did not order her fling with Julian Assange. And what about the suspect? Obviously he does not know what kind of people he is dealing with - a serious flaw in a man with such influential enemies.
Part of the problem is, the charges he's supposedly facing would in any other country, besides radically political correct Sweden, be dismissed by the police and prosecutors as poorly judged character assessment (Assange) by the women involved, and bad manners by Assange.
While the details aren't known, I'm quite sure a woman screaming, "NO!" while Assange is screwing her, would have even made him stop and re-assess the situation.
Your are a BS-er of the 1st degree.
The only reason why you would write such crap, is because you are somehow linked to corruption that Wikileaks is shedding light on. You are scared that no one believes Assange charges as being valid, he won't be extradited to UK, and he'll continue to show the world the ugly truth about the corruption and control around them.
You are a desperate act of a desperate person who's days are numbered.
You are not swaying anybody's opinion with your BS. No one buys this ani-Assange propaganda of yours, so stop trolling through web news sites and flaming Assange.
Time to begin with the expulsion proceedings. Sweden was obviously not ready for full membership in the EU. Pity.
Hey Boris - are you ignorant, or dumb, or both?
There are NO CHARGES against Assange! The Swedish authorities just want to question him ... which they could do easily by video-link! Then they could place charges if appropriate (or if "they wanted to") and then file an extradition request.
The fact that they didn't do these things suggests they want to capture him for devious reasons.
This entire request should have been thrown out by the court in England. If Sweden can't file a formal charge, then they should not be able to demand that a foreign national appear in their court.
Well done Sweden, we've lost a ship load of respect in you.
People commenting here.. can you please go read up a little before you post your half witted comments?
Assange is a hero, fighting for your human rights. And he askes for no reward.
Do you think such a laughable case would normally receive so much focus??
Go Assange, people with a clue support you.
"If he's innocent then he should have no problem proving it."
Can you prove you aren't a child molester? Seriously, STFU you ignorant newb!
Innocent until proven guilty exists for a very good reason....
While Assange is presummed innocent, he still must be returned to Sweden to face the charges against him.
This is your wake up call, please take another look at the world and try to figure out how it works :)
Prove his innocence? Why would he need that? It's the one who makes accusations who have to prove them; or at least should have to, if this weren't one of those political cases that are decided before they even start. Yep, we've got plenty of those.
As for our PM, he's a serious psychopath who ticks off almost all the checkboxes on Hare's list. The sooner this whole thing explodes in his face the better, small hope as it might be since the media here sees supporting our great (right wing) Leader as their primary function.
Assange and his legal team look desperate. Sooner or later he is going to be forced to face his accusers. If he's innocent then he should have no problem proving it.
