Sweden: Political Interference by the Swedish Prime Minister
Swedish Prime Minister interferes in Assange case with fresh attacks on Assange - 25 January 2012
This is typical of someone accused [anklagad] of a crime in a different country - to try to cast suspicion on that country or its legal system. One can see similarities with other cases where this technique has been used. Of course we have to stand our ground - we have a system of rule of law that works. And we take rape accusations very seriously - there are special interests trying to disparage how we have developed and how we stand by the good legislation [that is relevant] in this [Assange] case. - full transcript below.
Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, talks about the Assange case on Swedish national radio on 25 January 2012 - only one week before Assanges team will argue that the European Arrest Warrant has not been subjected to scrutiny by an independent and impartial judicial authority, before the UK Supreme Court.
