Assange's hearing on Wikileaks begins in UK court - NewsX

Hearing on Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's appeal against his extradition to Sweden has begun in the British Supreme Court. Yesterday Assange's lawyers told the judges the Swedish prosecutor who issued his European Arrest Warrant did not have the authority to do.
