Julian Assange has been arrested and has NOT been presented with the reasons for his arrest [the charges] in English - but in Swedish, which neither he nor his lawyers can read...illegal by EU and International law. Seems they will use every dirty trick in the book.
Mr Assange will appear before City of Westminster magistrates so a decision can be made about whether the warrant is appropriate for extradition.
Mr Stephens has warned any attempt to extradite will be resisted, “mainly on the grounds that he may be handed over to the Americans”.
Sky News’ US correspondent Greg Milam said officials in Washington are watching developments “very closely”.
He added: “There is a growing clamour in the US for something to be done even if they’re not completely sure what that should be.
“The big fear for everyone here is what comes next. What will be contained in the next leak of documents and how damaging will that be?”

More and more this appears to me as the States [not U.S., but all States, as in Nations] v. The People!
