WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has appeared in a London court for a second day of hearings over his potential extradition to Sweden for questioning about alleged sex crimes. Assange’s attorneys called to the stand a former Swedish prosecutor who attacked his country’s handling of Assange’s case. After the hearing, Assange’s attorney, Mark Stephens, challenged Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny to come to Britain and testify.

Mark Stephens: “Ladies and gentlemen, today we have seen Hamlet without the princess. We have seen a prosecutor who has been ready to feed the media with information but has been unprepared to come here and subject herself to the cross-examination she knows she cannot withstand. I challenge you, Marianne Ny: Marianne Ny, come to London, come on Friday, subject yourself to the cross-examination by Geoffrey Robertson QC.”

Appearing with his attorney, Assange discussed WikiLeaks’ ongoing release of U.S. diplomatic cables.

Julian Assange: “In relation to my WikiLeaks work, which of course is a separate topic, it goes on. It continues. Every day we are publishing serious content around the world and especially about the Middle East. And that gives me great heart, as does ongoing support of the world for my staff and our mission.”
