Sweden will likely hand over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States given a history of extradition between the two, the website’s editor-in-chief, Kristinn Hrafnsson, told RT.
“Sweden doesn’t have a totally good history when it comes to cooperation with the US authorities. One of the most disgraceful renditions happened from Stockholm where a refugee was thrown into the hands of the CIA and… flown to Egypt where he faced torture. Anything can happen”, he said.
Earlier in the day, Swedish prosecution announced the reopening of the investigation, just over a month after Assange was stripped of his political asylum by Ecuador and arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
