Assange extradition: complicated judgment May 30th 2012, 13:13 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18260914 Quote: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has lost his UK Supreme Court fight against extradition to Sweden to face accusations of sex offences. Lord Phillips, the court's president said he had lost by a majority of five justices to two. The court ruled the extradition request had been "lawfully made". However, Mr Assange's lawyers have been given 14 days to consider challenging the ruling, saying it could have been reached unfairly. Dinah Rose QC, for Mr Assange, said the Supreme Court's decision could have been made on legal points not argued during the appeal - and she needed time to consider asking the court to reopen the case.
