was now "defunct". Julian Assange no longer have any
alternative but to submit to be extradited to Sweden to face
allegations of sexual harassment.
They also did not rule out the
possibility that these Wikileaks founder will be extradited to the
United States.
Assange is now
almost six months of refuge in the Embassy of Ecuador in London. Diplomatic sources said that the
financial Canberra Wikileaks now declining.
They estimated financial assistance for
that group sooner or later will stop and eventually make the struggle
Assange becomes irrelevant and he had no alternative but to leave the
Embassy of Ecuador.
"This
is what will happen in a few months, or at most a year, and there is
only one possibility that occurred-extradition to Sweden," said a
diplomatic source told the Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday (12/04/2012).

said, a core group Wikileaks now live four to six people including
Assange, and the site they no longer have sufficient operating funds.

conspiracy and other charges for getting thousands of documents leaked
by Wikileaks of classified military and diplomatic reports of the United

Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmstrom, this week called for
Assange to "go" to Sweden to "answer the question", and ruled out the

conclusion of the trial the United States Army, Bradley Manning, accused
of leaking documents to Wikileaks.
A legal adviser to the government in
Canberra said that "Assange afraid of jail, but imprisoning himself. He
may be waiting to see if there is further evidence of the Manning case.
Yet, in the end he only had two chances to stay in the embassy forever
or accept extradition to Sweden. "
