MY link was to wikipedia and you read it.
I think we have now established that the UK must agree to a third party extradition
If the above is true why hasn't the Swedish authorities done this(question abroad) and why are they so keen to get Assange to Sweden?
No idea. They have an option to do this if they wish. They are choosing not to exercise it as is their legal right.
perhaps they believe they will look stupid if the go to the UK , question him, decide there is a case to answer and he still refuses to come over.
Anyway, quite separately, even if they could extradite him I don't believe they would since it would diminish the status of Sweden amongst other social democratic countries. I don't think the USA would try and undermine Sweden either by attempting to do so but that is just an opinion and not provable.
Assange can just stay inside the prison of his own making
