(62,325 posts)Clearly their laws and Europe's btw, are different to ours. I was pointing out the similarity now in this case, Egypt, under THEIR laws may request the extradition of those who have violated their laws and the Swedish case. What will Western Nations do now?
Sweden's laws re sexual abuse are very different to the laws of other European countries. Yet, when considering Sweden's request for the extradition of Assange, the British Court did NOT say 'we can't do it because he didn't violate OUR laws and we don't care if he violated YOUR laws. They based their decision on Sweden's right to pursue someone they claim violated THEIR laws.
I'm interested in the reaction of those who supported the British Court's decision and whether they will take the same position on Egypt's laws as they did on Sweden's.
