which is totally beside the point. Originally his case was also ignored and dropped, like most of Swedish rape cases because Sweden does not pursue rapists. How difficult is that to understand? Even if we take the glaringly obvious political motivations out of the picture and follow your reasoning, you are still saying that he's being deliberately persecuted for who he is, not because he committed a crime but because Sweden needs the P.R. to counter their sickening record on rape. That is still a gross miscarriage of justice, even if you have chosen to ignore all the surrounding political issues that make it an unlikely scenario.
