UNITED KINGDOM: The trial of Julian Assange ends this Friday

AFP - Julian Assange arrived Friday mid-morning at Belmarsh court in east London, who must complete the review of the request for extradition to Sweden by the founder of Wikileaks in a case of alleged rape, has a journalist from AFP.

The Australian of 39 years was accompanied by three of his lawyers.

The court must hear from 10.30am (local time and GMT) the conclusions of the defense and prosecution in this case.

The court in Belmarsh, which began to address this matter on Monday, the hearing was originally scheduled to close Tuesday, but the intervention of the witnesses called by the defense was longer than expected.

Justice will rule on the admissibility of extradition made by Sweden.The use is, however, that in such cases, the decision is taken under advisement.

Mr. Assange is claimed by the Swedish court in a case of alleged rapes and sexual assaults on two women during a stay in Sweden in August. He has always denied the charges against him.

His lawyers argue in particular that the fact that the Swedish court wants to question does not justify his extradition. They also argue that the warrant of arrest for their client was disproportionate, and that the charges against Mr.Assange are not crimes under British law.

Arrested in early December in London, founder of Wikileaks has lived for two months on parole in England.

His supporters say the charges against him were intended to discredit the work of its website Wikileaks, which was published last year many secret U.S. documents that have embarrassed Washington. Following the dissemination of American diplomatic telegrams, Wikileaks had been victim of several cyber-attacks last December.
