So I gave you three links, showing three different losses in Swedish courts in attempts to overturn the outstanding arrest warrant
Now you want to quibble pointlessly "He has not physically been back and forth in the Swedish courts"
Assange lost his quibbles in the Swedish courts regarding the warrant: the Swedish courts find it proper
Assange lost his quibbles in the UK courts regarding the Swedish extradition request: the UK courts find it proper
Res judicata! Those issues have been adjudicated
I have no opinion whatsoever on the question of his innocence or guilt -- but if indeed his innocence will easily be established, then it is entirely unclear why he prefers a multi-year squat in a small embassy room over a short visit to Sweden to resolve matters quickly: the history here suggests either that he suffers from some unfortunate mental condition or that he believes himself guilty as accused
