According to the radio news Ecuador say they want an Ecuadoran prosecutor to put the questions to Assange and have refused the Swedish prosecutor's request to interrogate Assange in their embassy. They have requested a list of questions from the Swedish prosecutor.

They also claim the British government has violate the immunity of their diplomatic premises by deploying an invasive police cordon outside their embassy at a cost exceeding $18 million, they went on to say the British government can't be trusted as they told embassy officials months ago they would remove the police cordon but have so far failed to do so.

Radio in Spanish (it was the 2nd story on the news just past the hour, the first story was about the Popes visit later this year for anyone who was wondering )

Do the rape victims have any say in this process or is it all about Assange?

I don't think rape victims have any say in the process in any country once they have made their complaint other than withdrawing it.

Blimey.

They often get to tell their story in court once the alleged rapist has been apprehended. Normally the perp does get off, it is not normally the United Nations that steps in and says the perp should be able to walk via cos he's been on the lam for four years.

So why haven't they interviewed him?

If only Sweden would grant Assange speedy justice!

 

[kropotkin]

I called on Sweden to end the deprivation of my liberty last time I went to IKEA. Turns out all I had to do was find the exit.

That is near impossible

 

[danny la rouge]

That is near impossible

Give me a break, I was looking for flippant parallels. I thought that one was quite good. Then you came along with your observational comedy...

 

[butchersapron]

That is near impossible

Lat time we in there there was a MUSLIM BOMB THREAT - hidden doors opened very quickly.

You can skip between the rooms quite easily, if you know how, like cheats on Jetset Willy*.

*My observational comedy needs more current reference points...

A little late for speedy anything around this case.

I just posted what the Ecuadoran line appears to be, something I didn't see on here. Ecuador only got involved as they thought it would be good domestically to be seen standing up to the USA, that's how it was played to start with, I'm not sure with the benefit of hindsight they'd do it again. Assange has turned out to be a real pest for them, but politicians never like to be seen to climb down.

I know. I was making a joke about this:

Because it's hardly Sweden's fault that Assange skipped bail and hid in an embassy for years.

Remind me of this if I have to go there again!

 

[butchersapron]

Remind me of this if I have to go there again!

It was amazing, we just walked out without any idea and behind us suddenly 1000s of people - very efficient.

You not reached 'peak stuff' yet, then?

This article makes the rape claims against Assange look very dubious:

Exclusive New Docs Throw Doubt on Julian Assange Rape Charges in Stockholm


And also read about Hammond's lie to deceive the public:

Nice taking apart of the UN working group's opinion:

The UN working group’s Assange opinion

This is game, set, and match.

The working group has completely devalued everything they supposedly stand for. In fact, reading that, one has to wonder if someone's been bunged somewhere along the line. At least there'd be a reason if that were the case.

Excepting bribery, they are simply incompetent fucks.

 

[DotCommunist]

is he still in there ffs

 

[butchersapron]

That is near impossible

Everyone else just got jobs.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Personally, I think it is about time he apologised and helped Bradley Whatshername, then died.

So that settles it then – everyone’s to blame except Julian Assange | Marina Hyde

Sick to death of his name, and regret clicking here again. Self-publicising fucking nemesis. He never really showed anyone anything they didn't know already.

 

[Cheesypoof]

i hope he is freed.

 

[xenon]

i hope he is freed.

It's difficult to be free when you just have to go outside.

What the fuck is he doing in there anyway. I hope he at least runs the Hoover around a bit makes the tea or something.

Amen.

He's free now, and has been since he started to take the piss out of the asylum system.

He's a wanker, and probably a rapist.

Is Wikileaks...just a bunch of bollocks?

Is Wikileaks...just a bunch of bollocks?

This is the thing that a lot of liberal leftists don't seem to get: it is possible for someone to do a thing you admire and then also do something appalling. It is furthermore possible that in evading taking responsibility for the appalling thing, that the person who once did a useful thing actually does a lot of damage to the useful cause and to others involved in the useful cause.

Now, that may take a minute or so to think about, but it's really not hard to process ethically. The sentences have a few clauses, and that can take time for some people. But the concept isn't hard. But some people just can't deal with the complexity of reality. They prefer this:

"Person does something admirable = hero. Heroes don't do bad things. Bad thing must be lie. People who think hero should face a fair trial in a fair court must be against the admirable thing. Therefore they are bad people".

I think people accused of sexual violence should have the opportunity to test those allegations in a fair court.

Assange doesn't appear to want to.
