(62,325 posts)learn the facts of this case. Your statement in your previous comment, eg 'no one is forcing Assange to stay in the Embassy' is FALSE, it is disingenuous to claim that when someone believes they have been set up, as Assange does, by powerful forces who would do to him what was done to Chelsea Manning if they got their hands on him, he most certainly is not free to leave the protection of the Embassy.
That is the equivalent of saying that people who have sought asylum here are not being forced to stay here, they are free to go, right into the arms of people who are a threat to their safety and/or freedom.
I followed this story from way before Assange ended up in Sweden. I wrote about it on DU2 as it was happening, before the web was scrubbed, which we watched as it happened, of comments made by the woman who is the accuser. Comments that contradict her later claims.
If you think I am going to go back and do all that research again you are mistaken because you have shown a willingness to believe the 'official story' without bothering to do the research yourself, and it's not my job to try to change your mind, which I don't believe would happen anyway.
Obviously the Swedish parliamentarians who are asking that either the prosecutor go to London and do her job so they can get on with the case or drop it, KNOW the Prosecutor was lying when she claimed she could not interview him in London. THAT WAS A LIE and I am really pleased to see her finally called on it by her own government officials.
And if a prosecutor will lie about that, she will lie about everything else also.
