WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrived at Belmarsh Magistrates’ Court, in south-east London, early this morning dressed to impress in a hand tailored, custom made suit and scarf. Assange was facing a second day in a British court Tuesday fighting an attempt to extradite him to Sweden over allegations of rape and molestation.
Even though the full weight of the Obama administration has been placed on the court to extradite him to the U.S., the 39-year-old Australian’s lawyer Geoffrey Robertson argued that Assange could face the death penalty if extradited on from Sweden to the United States on separate charges relating to the whistleblowing website.
