No charges ever pressed: Assange marks three years of UK detention

[struggle4progress]

223. You should reread the post #191 to which you are responding, because the actual issue here

is where Sweden conducts its prosecutions for alleged violations of Swedish law, occurring in Sweden, and the fact is Sweden conducts its prosecutions in Sweden itself for alleged violations of Swedish law, occurring in Sweden -- which is rather the norm for prosecutions around the world and is the reason extradition treaties exist

The interpretation, which you wish to give to the facts in this case, is now res judicata, having already been litigated through the UK courts by Assange and his lawyers, who rather decisively lost, the UK courts determining that Sweden sought Assange's extradition for the purpose of prosecuting Assange in Sweden for alleged violations of Swedish law in Sweden

So to continue to insist today, that Swedish authorities meet with Assange in London, is simply to insist that Sweden conducts its prosecution of Assange, not in Sweden but in London -- and this view is quite clearly crackpot
