It is my own belief that Mr Assange has actually committed no crime, not even in Sweden.

I believe this is a very serious issue that affects us all in relation to free speech and speaking out against corruption and injustice. If they can do this to one man then they have the power to do it to anybody.
I am most disgusted and upset with the utter lack of humanity being shown by the UK government toward Mr Assange. It is most brutal.
I also believe that the charges against him are trumped up
Dear Sir,
I am writing to protest in the very strongest terms about the government's treatment of Julian Assange. The behaviour of the British Authorities in this case has been most shocking and upsetting to witness.
As it stands Mr Assange is not a criminal. He has not been tried or convicted of any crime yet the government is treating him no better than it would a criminal or terrorist.
It is my own belief that Mr Assange has actually committed no crime, not even in Sweden.
The bully boy tactics of the police at the Ecuador Embassy in London disgusts me. Watching the footage earlier they looked no better than SS Officers in Nazi Germany.
I am absolutely ashamed to be living in the UK right now. I find that even I am bullied, ostracized and isolated because of my views and beliefs.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who blindly fall for this megalomaniac's game...Assange is wanted for questioning in Sweden in relation to allegations of sexual assault and rape. He does not want to have to be subjected to the judicial process in Sweden, in England or in any country.

Assange has volunteered to answer questions. Sweden has declined. If they want answers, he is there and able to be questioned.
Sweden dropped the original case against Assange because there was no evidence of criminality. The accusations resurfaced again when the USA decided that they wanted him for the release of information relating to their criminal, immoral or corrupt activities in theaters of war.
Sweden has refused to guarantee that he will not be extradited to the USA to face charges there.
The USA has a history of Human rights abuses, including the torture of detainees, cruel and unusual punishment, extrajudicial killings (assassinations based on accusation), indefinite detention without trial...
Once again we have people changing the rules to suit their political opinion. Human rights are great, as long as you don't upset the USA. In that case, the constitution, international law, diplomacy and all other fundamentals can be kicked aside temporarily to deal with the person causing you discomfort and embarrassment.
I'll say it again - Assange is not wanted for questioning over crimes he has allegedly committed, he's being asked to be interviewed about events. He has stated that he is willing to answer those questions. Sweden has refused to comply.
The burden of proof is on Sweden. They have no place demanding extradition when no charges exist.

I am sure many people believed that Ian Brady, the Moors murderer was set up. Of course, after due process he was prosecuted and found to be as guilty as sin by a jury. It’s all to do with evidence and legal process. I am not likening Brady to Assange, just drawing a parallel.

Sweden has refused to comply with a suspected rapist's demands...interesting. And...apparently the legal systems of both Sweden and Great Britain beg to differ with your learned legal opinions.

Since when did sexual assault become a form of protected "free speech"?
