In light of the wish of the United States government to question Julian Assange in relation to Bradley Manning who is currently in custody I ask that the United Kingdom make a formal request to the United States to give an assurance that they do not wish to seek extradition either from the U.K. or Sweden.
The previous home secretary (Theresa MAY) apparently accepts that a person whose extradition has been ordered by the courts can still claim that being sent abroad for trial would breach his or her human rights, particularly if circumstances have changed since the case was before the courts.
Australian diplomats have highlighted the US military prosecution's reference to "several connections between [Private] Manning and WikiLeaks which would form the basis of a conspiracy charge" and evidence that the Justice Department's investigation has targeted the ''founders, owners, or managers of WikiLeaks'' for espionage.
