WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, fighting a Swedish extradition warrant, today said he fears that he would not get “natural justice” in Sweden where the police “bamboozled” two women to accuse him of sexual assault.

The 39-year-old Australian is currently free on bail in the UK while facing the extradition proceedings to Sweden.

Sweden wants Britain to extradite Assange to face questioning over allegations from two Swedish women that he raped one of them and sexually assaulted the other in Stockholm in August this year.

But Assange said the Swedish women who have accused him of sexual assault had got into a “tizzy” about the possibility they had caught a sexually transmitted disease from him.
