Default Assange needs to go to the hospital

And the Embassy is asking safe passage for him too! Wonder if the UK will allow it?

In before smert' shpionam.

In all seriousness though, yes, I imagine they'll let him through, otherwise the EU Board of Human rights will get pretty annoyed.

If humanitarian reasons were quoted on behalf of the Lockerbie bomber, and other illustrious VIPs of this callibre in the past, it should be allowed and guaranteed for this comparably harmless man, too. He is no mass murder, no war criminal, and no arms smuggler or drug baron or pedophile.

Maybe they'll grant him safe passage to the hospital, but not from the hospital. Wouldn't that be funny,lol

The hospital will love them for it, like they can afford a bed being taken up indefinitely.

As long as he is only an accused rapist, yes.

Now, once he is convicted of rape, that's a different story

You want to know another name for an "accused rapist"?

An "innocent man" (until proven guilty in a court of law)

So a fugitive on the run from international extradition laws is Ok? Innocent until proven guilty does not mean you are innocent if you can flee from the court.

I ask for justice with Swedish laws applying.

no special crap because he is "ace buku" anti American, who deserves a pass because he is so daring and full of courage to take on the eternal evil beast known as America, who never did nothing right, but is to blame for all world ills.

Screw us, yeah please ban me, I am sick of explaining myself and my country to heathens of European, and Muslim descent who wish to trash us.

Picture your world without America you scum.!

I am so sick of being the universal bad guy.

This subject makes me angry, I hate how many people see Assange as a hero, I see him and his supporters as traitors who need a noose and a priest reading last rites.

Fuff (pronounced foof) the world, ban me. Now

If America became isolationist during the '40s,, alot of the world would be in trouble.

Unless you liked Hitler.

But was not your original argument. Your argument was:

There is a difference between someone accused of a crime and someone violating extradition.

I was responding to your original post. In refuting my response you can't just change the premise of your argument.

Nobody is denying him medical treatment or access to aid. He's doing that to himself by remaining in the embassy. The UK has a legal obligation to arrest him, but the UK is hardly a country where the imprisoned go without medical treatment. Neither is Sweden.

Agreed....the Ecuadoreans will probably want something in writing before he will leave the embassy. I hope they send medical people into the embassy as an alternative because there is no claims of there being a life threatening illness, just wight loss as far as I can ascertain and that could well be down to the trauma of being holed up in a small room for so long or dietary intake even.

Then the Lockerbie bomber should not have been released. Same standards for all, please, no opportunistic cherry-picking. Assange is very likely subject of an intrigue, and if that is true, has all reason to worry about being arrested, because he most likely will never leave arrest again. Not necessarily because he raped someone. But because it is an intrigue.

In intrigues, laws can get abused and hijacked. If laws get abused and hijacked to push an intrigue, I see no reason why to play by their rule any longer. They then have lost their legality to me.

The Swedes already could have had their questioning of him that they wanted, and since long time. And very easily. According arrangements have been made so often before. But in Assange'S case, for some reason just questioning him obviously is not what they are satisfied with. Considering that the whole case stinks to heaven and the Swedes have a very strange law regarding "rape" (which makes them the ideal strawman to push this intrigue on behalf probably of somebody else), this all is highly suspicious. Not certain, but highly suspicious. I refuse to just ignore these suspicions, but I take their high probability into account. Even more so when there are strong, overwhelming motives for certain states and actors to get Assange into their fangs - no matter how.
