Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden

This position argues that Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden, where he faced accusations of rape and sexual assault. It holds that a court had already ruled in favour of extradition, and that refusing to send him would effectively endorse rape culture.

  1. A court already ruled in favour of extraditing Assange
    A High Court rejected his final appeal to avoid extradition to Sweden which prompted him to enter the Ecuadorian embassy in the first place.
  2. Failure to extradite Assange endorses rape culture
    Failure to allow a full investigation to take place into the credible rape allegations against Assange would be an affront to victims of rape everywhere.
