(62,325 posts)you avoid making incorrect allegations throughout this thread. Assange did NOT fight desperately or otherwise to avoid going to Sweden. He was IN Sweden and made himself available to answer questions and left after doing so with no problem.
There are no allegations of rape. There are allegations of what is a misdemeanor under Swedish law, so why are you using the word 'rape' ? Where did you get this information?
And when has a country ever pursued someone who has never been charged, not even on the misdemeanor allegation which would amount to a fine, with a warrant from INTERPOL?? Got any other cases like this you can cite?
Not to mention he and his lawyers have made him available totally since Sweden contradicted itself after first declaring there was no misdemeanor committed, (and even the women have never, no, they have insisted there was no rape) and decided they had some questions to ask him. Why haven't they asked those questions? They've had plenty of opportunity to do so.
Why are there no charges? I think the world out side the far rightwing in this country, know the answer to these questions. Which is why he remains among the most respected public figures on the International stage.
And I have a question, why did you jump into this thread when you admit now you know nothing about this case. Which is clear from your comments btw.
