(edit title) Assange HAS been questioned Official Statements Options

[Garry Jones]

Contary to what most people think Assange was formally questioned in Sweden back in 2010.

Original Swedish

English version
http://www.nnn.se/nordic/assange/docs/protocol.pdf

Thus it is quite likely he is wanted for further questioning which will result in a formal charge so a court of law can decide if he is guilty or not.

As he came here in 2010 he must feel Sweden is a safe haven and a country that would not turn him over to the States upon request. So why his refusal to come back? Sense of guilt maybe?

[Yorkshireman]

Exactly. This has been known all along, but his team are skillful in manipulating opinions/media.

There are several steps in the Swedish legal system before formally charging someone, the final step is a last interview once all evidence/accounts from all sides are gathered, the prosecutor has a final interview with the accused, and gives them a chance to convince the prosecutor of their innocence. The prosecutor decides after that interview if to formally charge the accused.

This is what it looks like Assange is running from ... nothing to do with the US wanting him... one could be naughty and say, the fact that the prosecutor wants that final interview is a good indication that they have enough evidence to charge Him with the crime.

It is very understandable that that final interview, which could lead to charge/arrest could not be done in the Embassy in London ... for obvious reasons!

[Bender B Rodriquez]

After all, he is häktad in absence. This type of arrest is only done if the prosecutor is deemed by court to have a reasonable case. That in itself indicates that this is the final, formal, interview.

FFS...send the Swedish investigators to London....and interview Assange for further questioning. How f***ing difficult is that? Why won't they do that?? They have done it before....so just do it or explain why you won't!!

If then as a result of the interview...that charges are brought...then it is more likely that Ecuador will allow him to go to Sweden. However, I think they want some sort of assurance that he won't be extradited to the US. But just interview him first. Then the case might even be dropped.

[Hisingen]

You don't seem to understand. The great assange is above the law, and as such is able to 'make demands' that no ordinary mortal can. He is able to twist the laws and governments round his little finger, making a mockery of all and sundry. To what purpose you may ask? To further his ego is the only answer.

Should he ever be able to reach Ecuador, which I doubt, then he will be free as a bird
But he has to get there, and there is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.

Heaven only knows how long he can evade custody, but hopefully this long drawn out saga will come to an end before long. There are much more important events taking place in the world for more time to be spent on this waste of space.

You don't seem to understand. The case will not be dropped since this is not just ordinary questioning; it is a standard procedure to give notice of charges. Also, there is no possibility to give guarantees. If a request for extradition is made, then the court in question will handle it like any other case. No one is in legal position to make such guarantees.

[Yorkshireman]

You need to understand that Assange has a very very intelligent team working for Him.

They play the media, and their supporters who do not understand better.

The offer to have the interview in the Embassy was most likely made, because they knew it would be refused ... playing the good guys in eyes of the media. They have to refuse, as the Swedes could not arrest Assange in the Embassy.

The countless mentions and requests for guarrentees from Sweden about not extraditing ... again, playing to the media/supporters ... they knew that Sweden cannot legally give guarantees for that ... Sweden has international agreements and treaties, it has to deal with each request on a case-by-case basis.

The team continually say Assange could face capital punishment if extradited to US ... Again, playing to media/supporters ... Sweden never will extradite if capital punishment is a possibility!

Everything Assange's team is quoting as reasons for not going to Sweden, is carefully crafted to make it look like Sweden, UK and even USA are playing hard-ball ... but they are not ... they are following the law and their international treaties. The team knows this, and knows the answers would be NO.

What would have caught them by surprise would be if Sweden had said ... OK. We promise not to extradite Assange if it is requested and the request shows to be about Wikileaks.

They would find another reason why He couldnt go.

Are you Carl Bildt or one of his lackeys because you sound butthurt dude?

You have it all backwards, government have twisted the people round their little finger. What events are more important than exposing the lies told by various governments to their people or exposing cover ups? Thats what wikileaks does.

The JA story is the execution of what The Wizard of Oz was speaking in metaphors about or before that Plato's the cave. The one thing different is its easier than ever to organize people around the world and perhaps, and hopefully so, their will be a "world spring".

The powers that be are grasping at straws, desperate, because they know as well as anyone that power is an illusion and that eventually the great do fall...and they are nervous hence their desperate acts. Now, most likely Sweden will be the last one on the list to rise up, as its truly phenomenal what the Swedish government has managed to do...Taken some of the best and brightest people in the world and convince them its in their own self interest to pay some of the highest taxes in the world and receive some of the lowest compensation for their work...Well played.

One would think with the gains in productivity made over the decades Swedes would live in some sort of socialist utopia...but you don't..the people are in debt, not to the same extent as say the US but they are catching up...most families are wage slaves. Truth is, Sweden like most other western nations is a thin and faux veneer of democracy which covers up the corporate state. Exposing the falsehood of nation as a means of control is healthy for the individual but from your posts it would seem you would rather have people march in line for some national interest which these days more likely then not is simply aligned with aggregating more wealth in the capitalists pockets.

Anything that deconstructs the nation state and weakens it while benefiting the people is something I fully support...leaders often do act like big swinging dicks and do have ego, its one of the factors that allows them to keep on pushing when others quit. Like to see how you would hold up to the limelight rather than lurking in the shadows as a troll.

If this wasn't Assange but yourself, some woman you'd never met, invited you to stay at her apartment, then takes the initiative to have sex with you, you continue to stay with her for over a week, would you then not be somewhat surprised to be accussed of rape or something of that kind, a week later and that just because a condom broke 7 days earlier?

You'd then leave the country and would voluntary go back to the country where this happened?

Irrespective of whether it is Assange or not, you'd not feel as if you had been totally setup?

Because this is the statement of Assange, if you had bothered to read the interview with him...

Justice, a blind folded woman with scales. Tell me, how can she know whether you or her is lying?

There is absolutely no way anyone can reasonably be expected to be found guilty under such circumstances, in a safe way. So consequently, there is no case.

[Taxalien]

The team continually say Assange could face capital punishment if extradited to US ... Again, playing to media/supporters ... Sweden never will extradite if capital punishment is a possibility!

This NEVER happened then?

Sverige och den egyptiska regeringen kom överens om en garanti för att de bägge männen varken skulle avrättas, torteras eller behandlas inhumant och dessutom skulle de få nya, rättvisa rättegångar.

They would extradite two foreign nationals just on the basics that a country run by a dictator promised not to do that.

What then do you think they will do with the US, in this case?

[CTIDinÅrsta]

If this wasn't Assange but yourself, some woman you'd never met, invited you to stay at her apartment,

Don't remember Martin Luthetr, Mogandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King or Lord Alf Morris of Manchester (RIP) being draged beforer the courts accused of rape. If one is on a mission of such importance to humankind why can't one keep it in ones pants?

Woman nr 1:

You are a media personality. Everyone on the planet knows who you are. You've been staying in the flat owned by some woman you have never before met. You've had a good time. You've had sex.

5 days later, you are still staying in the apartment. To and through trying to be intimate with this woman who is turning you down. And she asks you to leave, because she doesn't want you in the apartment.

But you stay on. You are the media personality. Untouchable. Until 3 days later she talks about that condom that broke 7 days earlier.

Does it sound plausible?

If the woman really wanted him out, because you felt he was a creep would you then not have had a conversation in which you would tell him to "get out!" or I call the police or make your life a living hell?

Which media personality would not have left then?

Woman nr 2:

Allegedly, so the police say it is (but we don't know because the interrogation was not read back to the plaintiff, neither approved by her, neither taken from draft to final on the interrogation day, no it was left until 3 days later, but then something happened and it would take 6 more days before a NEW draft was entered and made final - but hey, never read back and never confirmed to be an accurate statement), you flirt with him over the weekend, you try to get hold of him on the Sunday, you talk to yer mates and then get hold of him on the Monday, have plenty of sex with him and call in sick on the Tuesday, get a morning after pill and then visit the hospital and get a rape kit done ... however ... and this is important ... you don't file a complaint. No, you only do this together with woman nr 1 on the Friday.

Of course if you read the transcript carefully you'll notice another thing. They are on a train together BEFORE having sex in HER apartment. They talk about things. People do on trains. He tells her he is staying with woman nr 1, and she of course wonders if he has had sex with her too, but no he hasn't because she is a lesbian and prefers women.

But then there it is... the wonderful text "But now she knows that he did the same thing with Anna".

So, allegedly that is something she says on the Friday 20th, 4 days after having sex and this is then written in the form we can read on the 26th of August.

Does it sound as safe?

And this transcript is made a police woman, a socialdemocratic politician with a political mission in Stockholm council whom woman nr 1 is a facebook friend with?

If you believe this, you'd have to believe in santa clause too.

One more question, why didn't woman nr 1 get an day after pill from the pharmacy?

Although it was wrong, they were not extradited. They were denied asylum and returned to where they came from.

After the political shit-storm that this case stirred, you must be truly insane if you honestly believe that this would happen now, especially in a high profile case like this. Of course, I don't doubt for a minute that you are insane...

Swedish police is a corrupt force. A bunch of power hungry f*ck sticks. See http://blog.brokep.com/2012/07/04/nadeansokan/ - I hope WL will expose their corrupt nature.

[Hisingen]

Sorry sois.com, but you appear to seriously suffer from verbal diarrhoea, and have a compatriot who likes to create same - only from the other end, judging by his pseudonym.
No wonder wikileaks appeals to you both. But I doubt that either of you have ever been, or are likely to be, in a position where these leaks could personally affect you. Were it to do so, then I feel sure your reactions would be of a totally different kind.
As to assange - the least said about that egocentric waste of space the better.
