英国一名法官裁定,维基揭秘网站创始人阿桑奇可以被引渡到瑞典面临有关性犯罪的指称。瑞典当局还没有对阿桑奇提出控告,但是要就两位妇女去年8月指责他性行为不端进行讯问。

阿桑奇否认有任何犯法行为。他的律师说,他们星期四将对这位英国法官的裁决提出上诉。他们坚持认为,维基揭秘网站创始人不会在瑞典得到公正的审判。阿桑奇因公布美国含有敏感信息的外交电文而成为美国就此调查的中心人物。

A British judge has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sex crimes. Swedish authorities have not charged him, but want to question Assange about accusations of sexual misconduct made by two women last August. 

Assange has denied any wrongdoing. His lawyers say they will appeal the British judge’s ruling Thursday. They insist the WikiLeaks founder would not get a fair trial in Sweden. Assange is also the focus of a U.S. probe for his release of diplomatic cables, some containing sensitive information.
