The History:

British Courts routinely grant extradition orders subject to conditions which the requesting state has to meet in order to ensure that the Accused's human rights are protected. (Refer to above link for details)


Two simple solutions are available to solve everything.


ONE: The UK authorities could request and obtain a satisfactory guarantee from the Swedish authorities that Mr Assange will NOT be extradited to the USA if the UK hands him over to the Swedish Authorities.


Once the Swedish authorities have completed their investigation (a reasonable time limit could be included) Mr Assange would thus be prosecuted or returned to the UK. Alternatively, if he is found guilty, he will be returned to the UK once his sentence is served. 


TWO: The UK authorities could approach an appropriate English Court to vary the present order to provide for the suspension of the execution of the Swedish Arrest Warrant pending the Swedish Authorities providing the guarantees referred to in one above.


It's simple. Easy to implement and its perfectly tailored to solve the the UK's problem with Assange; to address Assange's fear of extradition to the US, and it to permit Sweden's criminal justice process against Assange to be brought to finality.


 The Swedish and UK authorities failure to have arrived at a solution based on the above does them no credit at all. It only serves to make one wonder whether there is indeed a US agenda behind all this after all.

Under current UK extradition law, Mr Assange can apparently not be extradited to the USA on the charges the US wish to bring against him. This is a right.

The idea that Mr Assange has to forfeit that right in order to face charges in Sweden without a suitable guarantee of the protection he currently enjoys is outrageous in the extreme.

Of course, if the Swedish & British authorities do come to an agreement that the extradition will be solely for the purpose of facing the criminal proceeding in Sweden, and that he will not be extradited to the USA, then Mr Assange would have no basis, in my view, to remain hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
