(53,001 posts)You have no idea what the legal proceedings were about and rather than admitting that, are now trying to put your shocking Lack of knowledge on the subject on to me. I'm sorry that you lack the confidence in yourself to admit a mistake.
I am not confused. I know the basic facts. You strangely suggest I don't remember "all those rulings," when in fact the legal ruling from the UK Supreme Court is linked above as a primary source. In post 9, I provide a chronology of events from the Swedish prosecutors.
You say Sweden hasn't "guaranteed they won't render him to the US. Why is that more important to you than the human rights of rape victims? What guarantee has Assange made that he will
not reoffend? Since he has not denied the allegations but instead instead he should not be held account for them, it would seem he sees nothing problematic in compelling a woman to have "sex" (of course when not consensual it is not sex but rape) without consent. Yet somehow that doesn't concern you or others here. All that matters is the great man Assange operate without penalty. Who was it below who insisted "Those b...s set him up."? Such a Nobel cause.
