The first explanation of the Swedish allegations which I saw did not claim that Assange had refused to use a condom.

It was alleged that, in each case, during consensual sex the condom had split and he failed to withdraw, which is, or may be in Sweden, a technical rape. It would, I believe, not be so considered in the UK.

The story has since changed so much that it must be considered suspect in the extreme.

Before acceding to any extradition request, our courts should IMHO require prima facie evidence of a case to answer.

This does not happen in extraditions to the USA, nor has it been done in the case of the Swedish request.

I hope he is granted Ecuadorean citizenship and employed by the embassy, so that he can claim diplomatic status and leave for foreign parts with no danger af arrest.
