(3,751 posts)our government tries to ship him back to the USA, there is going to be HUGE trouble in little Sweden, mark my words. I do not think Reinfeldt (our PM) has the cojones to pull the trigger of extradition approval.

background from old posts of mine
100+plus pages of Assange rape case docs dumped here in Sweden
"Uncensored police reports filled with graphic details of the rape and sexual molestation allegations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have been leaked and can be viewed on the the Internet.
The files, viewed by AFP Friday, were faxed in November from Assange's Stockholm-based lawyer Bjoern Hurtig to Jennifer Robinson, one of his British lawyers.
Although a cover page says the documents are legally privileged information "for Mr Julian Assange and nobody else" a link to a PDF file of the 97-page fax was posted online this week..........."

sorry, helt på svenska (all in Swedish)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Includes the 2 women accusers (Anna Arlin and Sofia Welin) statements
Arlin has a dodgy background, she has been associated with the CIA-connected anti-Castro group, White Angels, has made false sex charges here before, and now has fled to Israel
Welin is more like a groupie type, who tried to drop charges already a couple times
we had dropped charges here, then revelations of the CIA spying illegally on many top Swedes came out, and voila! the charges came back
is a set up IMHO

Several very remarkable facts about the initial phase of the criminal investigation against Julian Assange have emerged based on recent leaks:
1. The police interview with Ms. W, the woman allegedly accusing Assange for rape, was not tape-recorded.
2. A narrative account of the interview was entered into the police computer system on the same day that it was made.
3. Days later, the police woman who had authored the account of the interview with Ms.W tried to access it again "to finish it", but was denied access for unclear reasons. She was then instructed by a superior to replace the original report with a new report of unclear origin, and did so. It is not known how the new account of the interview with Ms. W differed from the original account; only the new account is available now.
4. According to the leaks, Ms. W had not heard and verified any one of the narrative accounts of the interview with her. The allegation in the EAW that Assange had sex with Ms. W while she was sleeping thus amounts to hearsay.
5. The police woman interviewing Ms. W is an acquaintance of the other accuser, Ms. A. They are both active social democrats and they are both engaged in activities for homosexual, bisexual and transsexual persons.

Marianne Ny is very problematic as a prosecutor, she has exhibited clear bias in the past
http://www.daddys-sverige.com/3/post/2010/11/gstinlgg-marianne-nys-konstiga-syn-p-rttsskerhet.html
Marianne Ny wrote this in a Court Administration report on the new women's law in 2001 that she helped formulate and testified as an expert:
"Only when the man is detained can the woman find the time for peace and quiet to get some perspective on her life, thus she gets a chance to discover how she really was treated. " "Marianne Ny argues that the prosecution has a good effect to protect the woman, even in cases where the offender is not prosecuted nor convicted."

Prejudice is a problem though. Our gender decides how we judge men and women's guilt and criminality. Last Friday, Angela S. Ahola, Doctor of Psychology at Stockholm University presented her dissertation on how women and men are treated by the legal system, how women's and men's stories are evaluated and that even the appearance affects on who is trusted. Ahola's dissertation confirms what we at RO have suspected for a long time - that women are being judged more kindly by the police and prosecutor. Women get a milder punishment for the same crime as men, and female witnesses are considered more reliable than male. We must get rid of these prejudices in order to claim that the Swedish justice guarantee equality before the law.
RO wants to see reviews of the rape cases that are based on facts not claims. The speculations most stop. The more innocent that are being mistreated the less we trust the legal system. We are convinced that there are many out there who have been abused by the legal system.
