Assange was arrested on December 7 in London and has been in home arrest pending the court ruling. WikiLeaks founder to be extradited to Sweden During the hearing, which was held earlier this month, the WikiLeaks founder’s attorneys argued that Swedish prosecutors had made a mistake by filing an extradition request, while the Swedish government pointed out that it had requested Assange’s extradition only after it had unsuccessfully tried to question him several times. Assange and his supporters claim that the case against him is full of irregularities and some even believe that it is a U.S. conspiracy aimed at putting the 39-year-old Australian behind bars and discrediting him for releasing confidential U.S. cables.
