Watso This waffle about death penalty is a furphy con job perpetrated by those intent on seeing Assange get away from facing Swedish sex assault charges.
The death penaly fear mongering claim is a con and a diversion from true justice! See below. ...................................... "Sweden does not extradite individuals who risk facing the death penalty," a Swedish Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said, implicitly referring to the possibility Assange could be charged with crimes eligible for the death penalty in the United States, with whom it has an extradition agreement. http://www.theindychannel.com/news/31360582/detail.html
Under European law, neither Britain nor Sweden could extradite anyone to a country where they might face the death penalty. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/ecuador-grants-asylum-to-wikileaks-founder-assange/article4483654/
