The Injustice Handed out to Julian Assange Must End
by John Pilger / June 19th, 2015
Julian Assange, founder and editor of WikiLeaks, has now been a refugee in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for three years. The key issue in his extraordinary incarceration is justice. He has been charged with no crime. The first Swedish prosecutor dismissed the misconduct allegations regarding two women in Stockholm in 2010. The second Swedish prosecutor’s actions were and are demonstrably political. Until recently, she refused to come to London to interview Assange. Finally, when the British government almost pleaded with her to come, she agreed. She has now cancelled her trip. It is a farce, but one with grim consequences for Assange should he dare step outside the Ecuadorean embassy.

PS I would say ‘prisoner’ rather than ‘refugee’.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jun/17/julian-assange-says-swedish-prosecutor-is-reckless-for-scrapping-interview
I will be interested on Craig’s reportback especially in relation to the shenanigans the Swedish prosecutor appears to be indulging in . Also it state’s in the article that the Statute of Limitations on these false allegations expire this year . How directly will this affect JA’s effective ‘ imprisonment ‘ within the Embassy ?
At least the Assange affair has taught us all how to spell ‘Ecuadorean’.
Looking forward to the space filling up Craig.
I still find it hard to believe that Sweden of all countries is doing this to a man who consented to sex with a couple of women.
I lived in Sweden for a number of years and remember the women being rather persistent at the end of the evening to take men home…. It’s as common as Sill to Midsommar.
Tell him to lie flat on the back seat of your car,till you get over the border,and into Scotland,we can hide him out in Sawny Beans cave till the heat blows over.
Failing that we can do a Bonnie Prince Charlie,and hide him on one of Scotland’s 790 islands.
The real problem is getting him from the embassy to the car without the b*stards seeing him,we need a distraction,any ideas?
That should rattle some cages, Craig. I suspect you are deliberately tickling the tail of the dragon. 🙂
Nice One Republicofscotland, Distractions, a Big protest in fancy costumes it must be do-able in a number of ways.
And here, from Ecuador’s president Rafael Correa –
“If we had a European refugee in a European embassy in Quito, if we were to keep him three years without letting him stay, we would be called dictators, fascists. We would be brought in front of the International Criminal Court.”

LSE Event: “Above the Parapet – Women in Public Life” with Aussie PM Julia Gillard & MP Tessa Jowell
June 19, 2015
http://www.lse.ac.uk/publicEvents/events/2015/06/20150623t1830vOT.aspx
Hopefully Wikileaks supporters will ask Gillard about her betrayal of Assange.
~~
I think that should be ex-MP and candidate for London Mayor, Tessa Jowell.
and Aussie ex-PM Julia Gillard, surely.

What do you mean by “we”, you blowhard?
You don’t live in Scotland and you once even told us you weren’t Scottish.
You sound like London-born John Stephens (or Stephenson) – subsequently known as Sean MacStiofain (onetime QM of the Provisional IRA) 🙂
Craig,
Tell him to keep up the good work and discuss this with him:-
SPEAKING OF WAR AND HATE
If one were to ask these questions:-
1. Is it not hate for a white man to shoot nine black people in their place of worship simply because they are black?
2. What then does one make of drone bombing of maybe a hundred or more Afghans because one sees on a video, from great distance, what is assumed to be “terrorists” – who then turn out to be a wedding party celebrating the wedding. What did they do to deserve the bombing? Are they not human – do they not also have families and grieve for their loved ones as do the ones in South Carolina?
3. When countries are invaded without justifiable ( but fabricated “reason”) and millions die – is this not also hate accompanied by cruel and inhumane treatment?
4. When habeas corpus is abandoned, under the guise of detention of “enemy combatants” or “terrorism” – is this justifiable? How can anyone be held in indefinite detention without charge and the Rule of Law be said to be operating in a civilized world? Did the Nazis not have a Nuremberg trial – so what permits this digression from any trial?
All these questions tie together. Put injustice out there; put hate out there; put misdirected violence out there – and see what then blows back. Hate breeds hate; violence breeds violence; and – in the end wars spawn death and destruction.
It is so interesting that while the US indeed has suffered a tragedy in the recent shooting deaths of African-Americans in a Church, for no other reason than that the victims happened to be black – is indeed an act of hate. But – how many other acts of hate has the American Government perpetrated against the world for decades if not centuries? –

In this crazy, fucked-up world we need a bit of humour to keep us sane.
The likes of you certainly provide that.
Saudi cables -that was 2010, and as most of it indicates Saudi wasn’t all that friendly with Israel in any other respect. Indeed it’s mainly concerned with the maniac Liberman’s attempt to get the USA to twist the Saudi arm and make it more amenable to Israeli ambitions. Liberman’s gone as a force, but in some ways the situation is worse now: Saudi is definitely onside with taking down Assad, and Israel’s helping by handing equipment to the ‘nice’ Syrian insurgents – notably IS isn’t bothering it at all, which is rather strange for the embodiment of pure militant jihad.
Assad in his heyday was a bastard, but he kept the violence down to an extent we can perhaps appreciate better now he’s hardly there. Shame he wasn’t our bastard. The USUK was wavering at one point about whether to prop him up, and a lot of lives might have been saved if we had. What we’re seeing is the Israeli Plan B, not the subject of the cable. Once Assad and maybe optimistically, Hizb’ullah are out of the way, the thousand-mile stare will turn back to Iran.
Dead right RobG please do acquire a sense of humour. Atm, this task at this blog, is left to Habby and a couple of others at best.
But first you are going have to face the self-realisation of what a chutiya you sound like when you threaten you are going to come out of your hibernation, line up people along a wall and shoot them. Grow up you dullard.
