As US prioritises Julian Assange arrest, UK hints Sweden comes first | Media | The Guardian
'However the British authorities stressed the UK had an existing legal obligation to extradite Assange to Sweden under the European arrest warrant. '
'The US authorities cannot touch Assange while he remains in the embassy seeking to avoid an arrest warrant on rape allegations in Sweden. '
'The US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, said on Thursday that the arrest of the WikiLeaks founder was now a “priority”. '
'Were that to happen, the question of which warrant would then take priority - from Sweden or the US - would then come into play. '
'Extradition law is notoriously complex, with requests to the UK from outside the EU governed by the Extradition Act 2003. '
