Julian Assange Extradition

mercredi 17 avril 2019 à 02:00

Whatever You Think of Julian Assange, His Extradition to the US Must Be Opposed.

Assange _did_ "make himself available" to be questioned about the Swedish charges — questioned inside the Ecuadorian embassy.

Assange and Ecuador also agreed to his extradition to Sweden provided Sweden agreed not to send him to the US.

This was all Sweden needed to pursue those charges.

However, once the prosecutors were in a position to do what they had demanded to do, they stalled and then lost interest.

I concluded that the prosecutors had only feigned interest in those charges, as an excuse for serving the US.

I do not know whether the two women were honest in making the accusations, so I will not say anything about that question. However, I have read that the acts they accused Assange of would not constitute rape as defined in the US.
