Flera i tråden brukar ju vara noga med att
MN ska följa regler och lagar, vilket jag ännu inte har sett något konkret och bevisat fall på att hon skulle ha brutit mot. Men i denna "tvist" kring förhörets tillstånd från Ecuador verkar det faktiskt vara så att problemet ligger i att Ecuador inte håller sig till internationella konventioner, utan kräver att ett formellt avtal sluts mellan länderna. Det är därmed nu ganska uppenbart vilken part det är som
obstruerar, nämligen Ecuador. Dock kan det vara så att detta görs i samarbete med JA, som kanske gärna vill att preskription ska inträda innan förhör hålls, för att därmed kanske slippa åtal för sexualbrotten med lägre straffvärde. Om nu förhör någonsin kommer att hållas...
Märkligheter

"The pre-trial detention of the founder of WikiLeaks initiated just weeks later by Sweden has continued unabated – and illicitly, according to the United Nations norms – for five years now. In fact,
Article 9, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by the United Nations (ICCPR) – of which Sweden is a signatory – stipulates that all individuals under prosecution investigation – even if they are only “detained” or not being charged with any crime, “shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release”

"Secondly, peculiarities of the Sweden’s legal system, a few of them of a medieval nature, and that are remaining unique amidst EU countries.
In fact, the legal right of the Swedish authorities of keeping a person detained without trial for indefinite time [10] is a legal behaviour that historically characterized old fascist regimes, and it should not exist among the legal institutions and democratic traditions of Sweden. Not to mention the system of politically appointed judges (nämndeman). [11] Interestingly, Sweden is the EU-country having the highest number of prosectors, per capita.
Regarding the praxis of indefinite detention without trial, the Director-General for Legal Affairs at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Anders Rönquist, declared in an interview conducted by journalist Sarah Harrison in Geneve January 2015 “
that Sweden was under no obligation to limit time in pre-trial detention, or limit the time someone is detained, even if not charged”; he namely “had no issues from a human rights perspective of detaining someone indefinitely, even if they have not been charged.”

"We have Carl Bildt’s declaration in Almedalen stating that an interrogation of Assange on London is not possible. [15] We have the press releases of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs equating the press releases of the Prosecutor Authority, and vice versa. We have the Supreme Court asking first the Prosecutor General of Sweden for his opinion before issuing a verdict on the case Assange; [16] this, while the boss of this Prosecutor General is nothing less than the Interior Minister of the politically elected government. The verdict of the Supreme Court was – no surprisingly – favourable to the official position of the government, a stance designed previously by Carl Bildt, in a matter seemingly considered primarily in the sphere of foreign policy – and not of “normal justice”.
"We contacted the Prosecutor authority of Sweden (Åklagarmyndigheten) to have some aspects clarified on the relationships between this authority and the executive powers. This is what Mr Simon Hoff, from the press office, confirmed: “The Prosecutor authority is and independent institution placed under the Department of Justice. The General Prosecutor is appointed by the government, and his immediately boss is the Interior Minister.” [17]
In reference to the interferences of the executive power in the legal process of the case, we wrote in 2014 to General Prosecutor, Mr Anders Perklev, remarking his ostensible impartiality in the management of the case Assange. It referred to Perkelev reacting against the public stance of the Liberal Party’s judicial spokesperson Johan Pehrson MP, on the case Assange, while not saying a word about the expressions of PM Reinfeldt and some ministers in his administration who have intervened in the legal process o behalf of the women accusing Assange.
In such missive, [18] we reminded Perklev of the following:
On 11 February 2011, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt stated in the DN and Aftonbladet newspapers, that Julian Assange had been indicted. He then went on to take a position that was biased in favour of the complainants in the case. Not only was this political interference in an ongoing case, but also it was based on untruths; Julian Assange has not been charged. The statement by the Prime Minister was: “We have an independent judiciary which also in this case acted according to Swedish law. One has even public-indicted Julian Assange on allegations of rape”. And, “I can only regret that the rights and position of women weigh so lightly when it comes to this type of questions compared to other types of theories brought forward.”
On 15 August 2012, Göran Haglund, Swedish Minister of Social Affairs, told the newspaper Expressen: “Assange is a very coward person that does not dare to confront the charges against him”. And he added, “If he did the things he is accused of, I think one can call him a lowlife. He seems to be a miserable wretch.” [18]

"Neither they mention that Marianne Ny – according to journalist John Pilger’s report –did not show up to the first agreed London meeting, or state the reasons why that meeting did not take place. Pilger told AAP, “Until recently, she (Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny) refused to come to London to interview Assange”. “Then she said she was coming, then she cancelled her appointment. “It’s a farce but one with grim consequences for Assange should he dare step outside the Ecuadorian embassy.”
