Reading the news today I was not so surprised to find out that Julian Assange was to be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault. Assange will appeal, his legal team confirmed. If this is unsuccessful, he will be extradited to Sweden in 10 days. In the name of democracy and what it stands, it just looks like a Stalinist show trial, god knows whether allegedly raped these women. As I said, in the name of democracy:
Democracy: (a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them)
If supreme power lies in the body of citizens, they are allowed to scrutinise governmental misconduct. Extraditing Assange would be a critical wound in the name of democracy and highlight the continuing misgovernment of people.
