    charges
I think you've been listening to the MSM too much. Mr. Assange has not been charged with any crime in Sweden and is only wanted for questioning.


In Sweden, you can't charge someone without questioning them first.

Because whether he is charged or not, found innocent our guilty if charged or let go, it's certain that he will then be extradited to the USA where he has already been found guilty of crimes that actually aren't crimes due to his nationality and status as a journalist.

Sounds like pretty extenuating circumstances for a Swedish investigator to go to Britain to me, unless there's an actual law that says he MUST be questioned in Sweden

Edit: parent deleted their comment


Why shouldn't it happen in Sweden? If they have the legal power to arrest him and question him, why should they bend over backwards and do it his way instead?


Fair point, but he's "wanted" badly enough for a European arrest warrant and for extradition treaties to kick in.
