Assange prosecutor is anti-men, court told

THE prosecutor who wants WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange extradited to Sweden to face sex charges is “biased” against men, a court heard yesterday.

Retired Swedish appeal court judge Brita Sundberg-Weitman made the claim about Marianne Ny as Assange’s legal team said putting the 39-year-old Australian into the hands of the authorities in Stockholm would be a “flagrant denial of justice”.

They fear a move to Sweden could lead to him being taken against his will to the United States, detained at Guantanamo Bay and ultimately executed for spying.
