Cecilia Malmström | European Commissioner for Home Affairs | Interferes Judicial Process 2012 | Prejudicial Statement

⟴   Malmström Worked closely with US interests | 2012 joint briefing with US attorney-general Eric Holder |  Malmström has co-authored an article with Holder  | here CHECK THIS OUT PEOPLE PREJUDICIAL PRESS STATEMENT BY SWEDISH MINISTER Top EU official tells Julian Assange: 'Just go to Sweden and answer the questions' Martin Bentham 3 December 2012 09:24 London 2012-12-03 09:24:50 Monday 3 December 2012 09:24 GMT One of Europe’s leading officials has waded into the row over the Julian Assange case by telling the WikiLeaks founder that he should “just go” to Sweden to face the sex crime allegations against him. Cecilia Malmström, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, said Mr Assange, 41, who is sheltering in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, should “answer the questions” about his alleged attacks on two women. She also dismissed his claim that he would be extradited to the US, saying that she did not “believe for a minute” that it would happen and that it was only a “purely theoretical” risk. “I’m not engaged in this, I know there are talks. But he’s accused of rape, of sexual harassment and if he’s innocent, which he might be — I don’t know — why doesn’t he just go and answer the questions? I don’t believe for a minute that’s why he would go to the US,” Ms Malmström said. Her comments, made after a briefing with journalists in Brussels, will be welcomed by ministers as they try to extradite Mr Assange to Sweden on a European arrest warrant. The WikiLeaks boss fled to the Ecuadorean embassy, where he is now reported to be suffering from a chronic lung condition, in June to claim asylum after judges ruled that he should be sent to Sweden to face prosecutors. He claims the Swedish extradition bid is a ploy to secure his transfer to the US and denies the allegations against him, which include having sex with a sleeping woman and having unprotected intercourse without consent. But Ms Malmström, who comes from Sweden, dismissed his claims about the threat from American prosecutors. “He is asked to come to Sweden because he’s accused of some crimes. He stays in the embassy. For the moment there is no solution. Whether Sweden would extradite him to the US or not, that is up to the Swedish authorities to decide. I don’t think that would happen. That’s purely theoretical.” Ecuador’s ambassador to London, Ana Alban, has called for Mr Assange to be granted safe passage so that he can receive hospital treatment. Ministers have said that they will not prevent Mr Assange, an Australian citizen, from receiving medical treatment, but have warned that he will be arrested if he leaves the embassy.

But he’s accused of rape, of sexual harassment ... Cecilia Malmström ---------------------- ꕤ  ---------------------- (1) disregarding for a moment that these are flimsy and highly suspect Sweden police allegations, publicly contradicted by the alleged 'victims' [here]; (2) Setting aside the remarks from a woman minister, calculated to stir up a frenzy of outraged, public response by invoking alleged accusations of 'rape' and 'sexual harassment,' as an obligatory AND 'beyond-question' rationale, slyly imposed upon the target of political persecution, to leverage demand for submitting to what amounts to risk of life imprisonment or death sentence, attached to WHAT IS UNREASONABLE DEMAND for TRANSFER to SWEDISH SOIL for an 'INTERVIEW' ... that could be conducted in United Kingdom ...  regarding mere *investigation* of highly suspect Sweden police allegations (allegations which were previously dismissed by a competent Swedish prosecutor); ... read on:   Malmstrom is a Swedish minister who has either taken it upon herself, or has been instructed, to stage a press propaganda smear of Assange, while innocently batting her eyelids, stating to the gathered press: I don’t know — why doesn’t he just go and answer the questions? Cecilia Malmström * not responsible for this matter * So, this is not her area of responsibility and she is not in a position to make credible assessments or statements (leaving aside the problem of political figures making such prejudicial public statements concerning matters before the courts). Oh, puleez!  As if Swedish minister, Malmstrom, and her fellow politicians don't know exactly what the score is. As for the progress of the Swedish inquiry, it is incumbent on the Swedish prosecution to take the first - and ALL necessary steps - towards furthering any legal matter, including this Swedish 'inquiry'. Of course, the shift of focus is from the more pertinent question:  Why had Sweden *not* made appropriate interview arrangements, as at Malmstrom's Dec 2012 statement:  2 years into the fake 'inquiry' - despite ample opportunity and legal precedent? July 2012 Ecuador Embassy notification of willingness to facilitate interview for which Assange is available August 2015 Reality Sweden Refused to Interview Assange in Britain Where Sweden Interviewed 44 Others Between 2010 & 2015 POLITICAL PERSECUTION The Target of the prejudicial propaganda and media smear was not interviewed by Sweden, although interview was sought by Assange throughout, and ample opportunity was given for such an interview in Britain. THREE (3) YEARS after Malmstrom's performance for the world media, Sweden has shown itself unwilling and uninterested in furthering their bogus 'inquiry' into flimsy, Sweden police allegations. Sweden has interviewed 44 persons in Britain between 2010 and 2015, but has not interviewed Julian Assange in London, because:  THIS is political persecution and Sweden is both committed and determined to force Julian Assange onto Swedish soil, so that he can be extradited to the United States.
