Swedish hearing to decide on Assange extradition request

, after a 2010 rape probe was re-opened in May.

He was subsequently sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for breaching bail conditions when he took refuge in the embassy.Following his arrest Swedish authorities reopened a 2010 rape investigation, which had been closed in 2017 with the argument that as Assange could not be reached it was not possible to proceed with the probe.Sweden's prosecution authority did not want to comment on the likelihood of the court granting the request for a detention order.

If the Uppsala court also grants the prosecutor's request, Eva-Marie Persson has made clear she intends to issue a European Arrest Warrant"concerning surrender to Sweden". The decision of whether to extradite him to the United States or Sweden would rest with the UK interior ministry.On Thursday, a scheduled hearing on the US extradition request in London was pushed forward with chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot referring to Assange was"not very well," and stating that the next hearing could be held at Belmarsh prison, where Assange is serving his sentence.
