<p>A Swedish prosecutor attempting to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face sex charges has been accused of having a &#8220;biased view&#8221; against men.</p>
<p>Retired Swedish appeal court judge Brita Sundberg-Weitman launched an outspoken attack on the authorities responsible for an arrest warrant in the whistleblower&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>She was flown to London by Assange&#8217;s legal team to give evidence supporting their argument that extraditing him would be a &#8220;flagrant denial of justice&#8221;.</p>
<p>Speaking in the witness box at Woolwich Crown Court, sitting at Belmarsh Magistrates&#8217; Court, she said she could not understand the &#8220;attitude&#8221; of prosecutor Marianne Ny.</p>
<p>Mrs Sundberg-Weitman, a published academic and associate professor at Stockholm University, accused Ms Ny of having a &#8220;rather biased view against men&#8221;.</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;She seems to take it for granted that everybody under prosecution is guilty. I think she is so preoccupied with the situation of battered women and raped women that she has lost balance.&#8221;</p>
<p>The claims were made on the first day of a two-day hearing that will decide whether Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, should be sent to Sweden, where he is wanted by police over allegations he sexually assaulted one woman and raped another during a visit to Stockholm last August.</p>
<p>Assange&#8217;s legal team argue extradition would breach his human rights and fear he could ultimately be taken against his will to the United States and executed.</p>
<p>But a barrister representing the Swedish authorities said the fears are unfounded, the proper legal process is being followed and Assange has a case to answer.</p>
<p>Assange, who arrived under an extraordinary media spotlight, is supported by a number of high-profile campaigners, including Bianca Jagger, socialite Jemima Khan and veteran left-winger Tony Benn. Some of them are due to attend a Defend WikiLeaks rally in central London organised by the Stop the War Coalition.</p>
