Possibly because they know the main reason is that the USA is pissed over
wikileaks and the British government is their lapdog?
So there is fair suspicion that the charges are largely bogus...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In some countries, a charge of rape is the usual and standard
means of
punishing political dissenters, and other undesirables.
These charges
are politically motivated, making Julian Assange a political
refugee,
and as
such, theoretically entitled to political asylum in a country that
recognizes
political freedom. Historically, that would be a Scandinavian
country would be
granting political asylum to an Ecuadorian citizen, or
resident. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This whole saga - including an EU wide arrest warrent and threatening to *invade
an embassy* - hasn't been about a rape charge, it's been about wanting to
question him over *potential* rape charges. He may very well be guilty, but
until proven (or even charged with a crime!) that shouldn't be your assumption.
The whole thing is a ridiculous abuse of process, fan of assange or not (I'm
not, the guy is an egomaniac and yes, not everything should always be public
although governments *always* abuse that privilege).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
