Swedish authorities have decided to drop the majority of allegations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, however they will continue with a probe into 2010 rape claims.
“Ecuador must recognise its decision to harbour Mr Assange has prevented the proper course of justice”. He feared he could eventually be extradited from there to the U.S.to face charges for publishing thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables on the WikiLeaks website.
“As the statute of limitation has run on some of the crimes, I am compelled to discontinue the investigation with respect to these crimes”, Marianne Nye, Sweden’s director of public prosecution, said in a statement Thursday.
Immediately after the attack by the newly arrived migrants, who shared a room in a government asylum shelter and had only arrived in the country less than four weeks before, Swedish police rushed to protect migrant communities from “dark forces in society”.
