in your opinion, I take it.

No, I never said "Swedish courts are corrupt". But one prosecutor did something illegal with the effect of triggering a worldwide smear campaign, and another is going along with the persecution of Assange, under a pretext that has never been used before.

What makes you think there will be a trial in Sweden? Has anybody brought charges?

And even if they will, it wouldn't be the first time someone is held in prison for years during a rape trial only to be acquitted later, their reputation destroyed. I could cite you two widely publicised cases off the top of my head. Ms Ny reportedly thinks that's okay, the just burden that males have to bear. In the case of Assange, it would also serve the purpose of punishing him for the work he has done with Wikileaks, which the authoritarians of all nations will welcome with glee.
