Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"And why do you think that is? Perhaps it is because Assange does not face any charges in Sweden!! The proceedings in Sweden are at the preliminary investigation stage. That does not come to an end until evidence is served on Assange or his lawyer and there is an interrogation of Assange with the opportunity for further enquiries. Only after all that would there be a decision as to charge.
So your point seems to be based on a total misconception.'"
I understand that. I think it is wrong.
Quote Ferocious AardvarkAgain, [ithey only want to question him[/i. Had he turned up to be questioned, who knows whether or not charges would have followed? You are very confused on this. All we have are complaints of sexual offences, which are being investigated. The only reason the investigation is still pending is because Assange did a runner.'"
I appreciate that, I think it is wrong to forcibly extradite someone on that basis.
Quote Ferocious AardvarkYou seem to be arguing that doing a runner when the police want to question you about serious allegations should be the ultimate get out of jail free card. They only need to extradite him in the first place because he was in Sweden, and said he would remain there, but had it away on his toes. They do not want to detain him but to question him. After that they would make a decision.'"
He was told he could leave Sweden. Regardless, there being an allegation and him not being in Sweden, arent good enough reasons to forcibly extradite someone to Sweden
