Assange update - So the defense is attacking the idea that the allegation Assange assisted Manning does not meet the legal requirement of a crime in the UK, thereby failing the “dual criminality requirement.”

Obviously the prosecution rejects this line of reasoning: in their skeleton argument prosecutors assert that “determination of extradition offence is solely and entirely tested against the conduct alleged in the request. Defence evidence is utterly irrelevant.”
