WikiLeaks Urges Sweden to Rule Out Assange US Extradition

WikiLeaks on Sunday urged Sweden, which wants to question its website’s founder Julian Assange over alleged sexual misconduct, to guarantee it would not extradite him to the United States.

Assange, who has been holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy for two months, was set to face the world’s media at 1300 GMT Sunday but risks arrest if he takes even one step out of the building.

Ecuador on Thursday granted asylum to Australian national Assange, whose website enraged the United States by publishing a vast cache of confidential US government files.
