Assange's bail plea rejected, to be extradited to Sweden

May 30, 2012 14:01

The Wikileaks founder will now be extradited to Sweden. He had denied the claims and has said his European arrest warrant was "invalid and unenforceable".

In February, his lawyers told the Supreme Court judges that the Swedish prosecutor who had issued the warrant did not have the authority to do so.

The 40-year-old Australian has been on conditional bail in the UK. Mr Assange is accused of raping one woman and "sexually molesting and coercing" another in Stockholm in August 2010 but he claims that the allegations against him are politically motivated.
