We are continuing on the same track as laid out before.          "Any development with regards to Julian Assange will not  change the plans we have with regards to the releases today and in the  coming days."         Secret locations         He said Wikileaks was being operated by a group in London and other secret locations.If the district judge rules the arrest warrant is legally correct, he could be extradited to Sweden.         But the process could take months.City of Westminster deals with most extradition cases but there are huge differences in the time it takes.         Extradition can be extremely swift if the accused waives his legal rights.         But some cases, such as the extradition of computer hacker  Gary McKinnon to the United States, have been going on for years because  of legal challenges.         A European arrest warrant is designed to speed up the process but there can be delays.                  Mr Assange is an Australian citizen and his supporters have  written an open letter to Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard asking  her to protect him.         One of the signatories, prominent barrister, Julian Burnside  QC said: "First and foremost Julian Assange is an Australian citizen who  is entitled to the protection of his country and does not deserve to be  betrayed by his country.          "Julia Gillard has been making it virtually impossible for  Assange to return to Australia where he is entitled to be. And she has  even threatened to cancel his passport. That is an outrageous stance to  take."<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" />Live Feed From Outside the Court House >>><a href="http://www.nrk.no/video/julian_assange_moter_i_retten/682BCCBE9033C894/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nrk.no/video/julian_assange_moter_i_retten/682BCCBE9033C894/" target="_blank">http://www.nrk.no/video/julian_assange_moter_i_retten/682BCCBE9033C894/</a></blockquote>
