> justify Assange not reporting back to Sweden to answer to prosecutors

According to Wikipedia:

> Assange has said he would go to Sweden if provided with a diplomatic guarantee that he would not be turned over to the United States, to which the Swedish foreign ministry stated that Sweden's legislation does not allow any judicial decision like extradition to be predetermined

Tell me how it's easier to extradite him from where he is now?

If he returns to Sweden, he will need the approval of both Sweden and the UK to extradite to the US. Right now, he needs only the approval of the UK, home of GCHQ.

He's in the embassy at the moment. Is he going to Sweden without surrendering to the UK first?
