be extradited to...

「〔国外逃亡犯などが〕~に送還される見通しである」

The Australianの記事、'Judge rules Julian Assange can be extradited to Sweden'から。

'WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange will appeal against a British judge's decision to extradite him to Sweden on rape allegations, his lawyer said.

Following days of hearings at a London magistrates court, Judge Howard Riddle ordered that the 39-year-old Australian and WikiLeaks founder be sent to Stockholm to face charges of rape and sexual assault.

"We will be appealing,'' his main lawyer Geoffrey Robertson told the court in southeast London after Justice Riddle handed down his ruling.

Celebrity backers including socialite Jemima Khan and rights campaigner Bianca Jagger were also at the court along with around 100 journalists from around the world.

The silver-haired Australian sat in the dock of the court showing no emotion as Justice Riddle read: "I must order that Mr Assange is extradited to Sweden''.

"I have specifically considered whether the physical or mental condition of the defendant is such that it would be unjust or oppressive to extradite him,'' Justice Riddle said.'
