I don't know how the UK Supreme Court takes on its cases, but claiming "general public importance" almost sounds like Assange isn't using a lawyer.
I would think his best shot at denial of extradition would be based on evidence of trumped up charges, such as Interpol's unique interest in his case (the sexual allegations), but no such similar cases, etc.
"General public importance" sounds like he's expecting the courts to do his legal research for him.

What annoys me is this: If Assange has a case to answer in the US, why haven't they told Assange or the world what it is.
If they haven't built a case by now, an extradition from Sweden should be off the table - and they should state that clearly. Why must anyone live in fear of extradition to the US (or the America n Gulag as the former British Officer put it !!!), when they obviously have not been able to get a case together? This is ridiculous. Should someone really have to go as far as to take the US government to court to establish whether or not they have a case?

As far as I know it is also illegal under Human Rights to extradite a person to where he/she will be executed or would that be liquidated?

The Australian government makes a song and dance up to the Prime Minister about 'the Bali boy', who does not face the death penalty, but the other Australian citizen Assange does not get any assistance whatsoever.

I wish wikileaks had existed in the early 1990s and exposed the dealings of the European Colluding Class under Mitterrand and Kohl re dirty dealings between elf Aquitaine/Leuna-Minol and Goldmann & Sachs.

2 comments OOPS still remember when this story was topping 9,000 comments adn 168 waiting. Will the Brits send this guy to Guatanemo via Sweden or not?

Although Julian has “not been charged with any crime in any country” has been abandoned by the Australian government and will be surrendered by the British government, passing into the hands of armed jailers at a secret location in Sweden, pending the execution of instructions given to Sweden by the USA. Australia, Britain and Sweden recognise their masters. Those who believe that Julian has a right to justice (and those who believe these events are a travesty) must demand that charges be laid against him before he is delivered into the US black prison system. His removal from Sweden is a certainty that demands the response of every free person. Personally I believe that the accusations against him are baseless, un-prosecutable and politically motivated. Free Julian Assange now!
