Julian Assange: Wikileaks co-founder jailed over bail breach
Craig Murray's reaction is worth reading [1]. I realize he does not respond to the bail breach directly, but rather to what precipitated this chain of events.<p>> <i>If the Swedish allegations against Julian Assange were genuine and not simply a ruse to arrest him for extradition to the United States, where is the arrest warrant now from Sweden and what are the charges?</i><p>> <i>Only the more minor allegation has passed the statute of limitations deadline. The major allegation, equivalent to rape, is still well within limits. Sweden has had seven years to complete the investigation and prepare the case. It is over two years since they interviewed Julian Assange in the Ecuadorean Embassy. They have had years and years to collect all the evidence and prepare the charges.</i><p>> <i>So where, Swedish prosecutors, are your charges? Where is your arrest warrant?</i><p>> <i>Julian Assange has never been charged with anything in Sweden. He was merely “wanted for questioning”, a fact the MSM repeatedly failed to make clear. It is now undeniably plain that there was never the slightest intention of charging him with anything in Sweden. All those Blairite MPs who seek to dodge the glaring issue of freedom of the media to publish whistleblower material revealing government crimes, by hiding behind trumped-up sexual allegations, are left looking pretty stupid.</i><p>> <i>[...]</i><p>[1] <a href="https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/04/so-where-is-the-swedish-warrant/" rel="nofollow">https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/04/so-where-is-...</a>
