CHAPTER

Why Was There an Extradition Order for Julian?

Julian Assange's case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The UK Supreme Court said he should be extradited to Sweden. Then they said, and we have to change the law. So this doesn't happen again because you need a charge before we extradite - but it won't be retrospective. Julian voluntarily went to the police station and lost his liberty on the 7th of December 2010. He was put in prison for 10 days, then under house arrest for a year and a half. He was in the embassy for seven years, then he was arrested, and he's been in Belmarsh High Security Prison ever since.
