FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda An adviser for Julian Assange’s legal team says the Queensland man has one last chance to fight extradition to Sweden after the British Supreme Court dismissed his appeal on Wednesday.
Lawyers for Assange have 14 days to consider the judgment and submit further applications to the court.
The 40-year-old Australian WikiLeaks founder is now expected to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said the British Supreme Court decision was “inevitable” but not unanimous. The judicial panel of seven had been split 5-2 in its decision.
“There are technical possibilities and of course the main issue is the European Court of Human Rights because that is the final court in Europe, and certainly he has a reasonable prospect there, but it is unlikely that they would halt the extradition,” he told the ABC.
Assange had argued that the Swedish Public Prosecutor was not a judicial authority and therefore did not have the power to request his extradition.
Lawyers for the Queensland man have argued that his extradition to Sweden would lead to him being taken to the United States, where authorities are investigating the operations of his website which has published hundreds of thousands of confidential government documents.
Swedish prosecutors have sought Assange’s extradition from the UK so he can be questioned about claims by two women that they were sexually assaulted by Assange in Stockholm in August 2010.
