WikiLeaks Rep: Assange Fears Torture in U.S. 
---------------------------------------------


 
Police in London have said Julian Assange could face arrest for
violating the terms of his bail. Citing the case of Bradley Manning, a
Wiki Leaks spokesperson said Assange ultimately fears extradition to the
United States.

Kristinn Hrafnsson: "The big worry is an extradition to the United
States. We all know what has happened to Bradley Manning there. He was
held in a situation that is equaled to torture, that is even, you can
find a statement by the United Nations' rapporteur on torture, so that
is a true worry."
