Charlie Savage, Adam Goldman and Eileen Sullivan of the *New York Times*
state: "If Mr. [Julian] Assange is convicted on the conspiracy to hack
offense alone, he could face up to five years in prison. The government
could later seek to charge him with additional offenses, but because of
extradition practices, any such superseding indictment would most likely
need to come soon, before Britain formally decides whether to transfer
custody of him."

FRANCIS BOYLE, fboyle at illinois.edu
  Boyle is professor of international law at the University of Illinois
College of Law. His books include *Foundations of World Order* (Duke
University Press).

  He said today: "The *New York Times* report is wrong and understates the
dangers to Assange. What it states is normally the case in extradition
treaties, but it's not the case in the relevant U.S.-British extradition
treaty

  "Once the U.S. government has Assange over here, they can concoct
whatever charges they want to against him for anything and then ask the
British to waive what's called the Rule of Specialty. That could add up to
much more than the current five years Assange is facing. The British
government will almost certainly consent, unless Jeremy Corbyn becomes
prime minister.

  "I'd expect that Assange's lawyers will try to use the European Court of
Human Rights to stop the extradition and in any event, they would need to
ensure that the British government receives assurance from the U.S.
government that the death penalty will not be sought."
