Should Julian Assange be extradited?

Julian Assange should not be extradited to Sweden

This position holds that Julian Assange should not be extradited to Sweden. It argues that the Swedish charges against him were dropped, leaving no pending extradition request there, and that he was set up — making any move to send him to Sweden unwarranted.
