    F de N: "Please don't be naive. What the Swedish court ruled against Assange is - for the moment - an extradition to Sweden is not needed
    because he is secured and available in a London prison for interrogations by Swedish prosecutors.
    The (political) case against Assange in Sweden is far from being closed, only the US can do that.
    The "case" was initiated on requests from the USA in 20010 after the Wikileaks' publications on the Afghan War - where Sweden's Armed Forces participate under US Military command.

    "Misinterpretation in social media referring to Swedish court not (yet) seeking Assange extradition. A 'victory' it is not:

    - Court said investigation on 'rape suspicions' remain;
    - European Investigation Order to prevail;
    - Swedish prosecutor to question Assange in London prison: "then we'll see"...

    "Why does nobody seem to realise that Sweden abstained (for now) to ask for Assange's extradition only after it was made clear that UK authorities agree to extradite him to the US? [Jeremy Hunt's speech]
    When will people finally realise it's a geopolitical case, nothing to do with rape 'victories'.

    "UK Court ruled NO to Pinochet extradition when we requested he be taken to justice for war crimes, torture and HR abuses. Pinochet's lawyer was Mrs Claire Montgomery ... the same lawyer hired by Sweden to ask UK for extradition of Assange."
