That's the good news. The charade is over. The bad news is the weasel, backside-covering and scurrilous statements still issued by the Swedish prsecutor and the awful reality that this case had been a nothing case for years on end, and the Swedes know it. Hanna Jonassen (Assange Swedish lawyer) now tweets: "Throughout the 9 year Swedish "preliminary investigation" Assange has never been charged. No decision was ever taken to prosecute him. The UK courts were misled on this point by the UK Crown Prosecution Service." Jonathan Cook tweets: "Sweden has finally dropped its investigation of Julian Assange – confirming nearly a decade late there was never a plausible case against him. But it successfully eroded public support, paving the way for extradition moves by the US for political crimes" Italian journalist Stefania Maurizi (La Repubblica) tweets: "Do NOT forget that Sweden,UK,Australia have stopped any attempt to get the full set of documents on the Julian Assange: I have spent 4 and a half years fighting in 4 jurisdictions (US included), spending tens of thousands of euros. What do they want to hide? |
