Sweden Prosecutor's Delay Blamed for Destroying Three Lives

A scandal that destroyed three existences, but only one culprit knows: the Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny. A commentary by Sylvia Margaret Steinitz The Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange © Adam Ihse / AFP / Facundo Arrizabalaga / EPA The whole thing would have been so not necessary. The international arrest warrant. Applications to court. The asylum at the Embassy of Ecuador, the existential twilight seventy square meters. One thousand days without sunlight and fresh air. Sentry outside the windows, which devoured already rumored 15 million pounds of British taxpayers' money. The whole theater - in vain. Years ago, it now turns out, the Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny would have to arrange that Julian Assange interviewed in the UK to allegations of sexual offenses from 2010 and whether charges are brought. She always had declared a survey in the message is not possible, Assange had come to Sweden. The unspoken "or": In case of refusal, he would just go stale in the message. The warrant remained upright and in any case so that the whole farce about the Wikileaks founder, who fears being extradited to the US, he should enter the Swedish soil. Fairness And now that Assange's legal team called the Supreme Court, an Attorney General has taken responsibility and also the limitation period for some of Assange threatens to spread alleged actions, as it suddenly goes but Marianne Ny has submitted a request to question Assange in London to take a sample of DNA. What she needs is unclear, the Swedish authorities have already from the year 2010. But, after all. It is an examination that is desired by all parties, especially by Julian Assange. The course is not Uschuldslamm. Do the statements of the two affected women in the matter only half the truth, this man has a huge problem with people in general, and respect for women in particular.  [Uschuldslamm, means 'innocent lamb' (I think).  The bit about the 'huge problem with people" and 'respect for women in particular', is arguable, of course.] Assange is smart, arrogant, irrational, utterly fearless. On a ten-point scale from hero to asshole he is a clear five. But heroes and assholes have to prove the same right to due process, the possibility of her innocence, if convicted on appropriate punishment and the chance of rehabilitation. Assange may already sitting longer than a prison sentence would make if convicted.  [LOL, I don't know how the author came up with an Assange is 5 on an 'assh*le' scale assessment, if that's a proper translation.] But while the situation in which Julian Assange is located, has been sufficiently discussed, one thing remains largely unnoticed by the public: what does this long waiting time for the two women. Help protect the mighty lawyer Since XXX & XXX released in August 2010 on a Stockholm police station to seek advice on how to Julian Assange could be forced to have an HIV test is over her life basically. XXX stated that Assange had had intercourse with her while she was half asleep, and that without prevention protection, even though she had repeatedly emphasized to want to have sex only with condom. XXX had come along to support XXX and explain his sexual encounter with Assange, who she'd felt as violent. The police saw among other things, satisfies the conditions of the rape and put an ad on. Rape in Sweden is a public offense that needs no own display by the victim. 24 hours later dropped the competent prosecutor this fall again. XXX  brought forward Protect your help with a ideologically related Advocate Claes Borgström, well-connected politically powerful, ambitious. By a legal trick he left the lodge a complaint again and took a very different prosecutor from the nearly 500 kilometers from Gothenburg on board: his old friend Marianne Ny, which should delay the process until 2015. Video Swedish authorities want to question Assange in London The end of a career For more than four years, XXX and XXX maligned as intelligence officials, who Assange had set a trap, abandoned their personal experiences with Assange ridicule - not least by Geoffrey Robertson, Assange's acclaimed lawyer and head of Amal Clooney stated that the portrayal of XXX describe "what is commonly known as a missionary position". XXX and XXX full names were mentioned in violation of the protection of their identity in articles published their photos in the network appeared ace address and a picture of her house on input. She eventually fled to Palestine to participate, on a project. XXX popped up quite as. It has created a new lawyer who is primarily concerned with photos and other items that affect XXX personal lives to sue from the network. For the aspiring artist video of farewell from the Internet also meant the end of a career that had just begun. The political career of XXX, who worked for a subset of the Swedish Social Democrats will never take the path that might have been possible without this floating method. Assange spurred the witch hunt Assange did nothing against the witch-hunt against XXX and XXX, on the contrary, in a subtle way he spurred the agitation also still on. He has switched Only since 2014, and stressed that the two women had not introduced the display. Much too late. Marianne Ny that could be provoked by Assange attacks in their direction into a power struggle, it is understandable though unprofessional. But with their blockade, they also took the women affected the ability to finally finish the thing. How much suffering victims of sexual violence through lengthy proceedings, is sufficiently well known. Marianne Ny is considered to be declared feminist and expert on Sexual Violence and yet consciously accepts the gain of a possible post-traumatic stress disorder in buying, apparently to punish an unpleasant counterparty. To leave two women in an unnecessary and intolerable, endanger its existence condition is inexcusable. But senior public prosecutor Ny is accountable to no one, seated at her job, Swedish workers law goodness. And so she plays for four years God. If a person is responsible for the mess in which not only Julian Assange, but XXX and XXX stuck, it's Marianne Ny. COMMENT The article is a poor Google translation of German, so all you can get from it is a few snippets and an overall feel for the article.  Some of it, I'm not entirely clear on.  And some translates hilariously:  as in the 5 points on the assh*le-scale.  Sorry, people, but I find that really funny.  Not so funny is the bit where Assange is deemed to have issues with 'people' and with 'respect for women in particular'.  Not quite sure how the author has come to that conclusion, unless she knows him personally.  And even if he was known personally, such a statement would be a statement of subjective opinion, rather than a statement of objective fact. Moving on:  I thought the criticism of Ny was interesting.  Ny in a job 'accountable to no one', plays God for four years.  Ny a declared feminist and expert on sexual violence who has, nonetheless, let this matter stagnate, risking possible post-traumatic stress disorder  ("PTSD"). However, that risk of PTSD is, of course, on presumption that the state of Sweden's allegations of wrongdoing reflect an actual trespass upon the two women (which the women themselves have previously and separately denied). Alternatively, even if the women in question were caught up in political intrigue, Sweden dragging this highly political and public matter out over the space of nearly 5 years is enough to give anyone PTSD, including Assange, I should think. The writer indicates that one of the women has fled to Palestine on a project and the other woman  cut short an otherwise promising career (if I understand this translation correctly). That woman's career appears to have been on the periphery of the Swedish Social Democratic party. Swedish Social Democratic party seems to connect a number of people associated with this intriguing Swedish predicament:  including the lawyer who resurrected the dismissed matter — 500km away in Gothenburg:  Claes Borgström. The author of the Stern article refers to, lawyer, Claes Borgström, as "well-connected politically powerful, ambitious." It appears from the article that prosecutor, Marianne Ny, is the prosecutor Claes Borgström found (500km away) to resurrect the dismissed matter — and this obliging prosecutor is referred to, in this Google translation, as Claes Borgström's 'old friend'.  Found this pretty exciting news (assuming the translation is correct).  Wow, how mind-blowing is all of this?  It's probably one of the first mainstream articles I've seen that sort of connects the dots (or it gets rather close).  On the other hand, this could be old news to everyone else and nothing to get excited about.  But I still think it's rather cool to see Sweden come under criticism in mainstream media. The author made a good point about Sweden dragging this out and the potential effects of doing so, particularly when the person taking the hit for the delay is a 'radical feminist' (who presumably ought to have more concern as to the impact of delay on the two women involved). This is a most interesting and pertinent criticism of the prosecutor's delay. And perhaps the criticism is even more interesting in light of the probability that the delay did not really come down to a single person in Sweden holding up progressing the matter by refusing to question Assange.  The disregard for the women's welfare — by a feminist state and feminist prosecutor — is perhaps more disturbing when the delay is considered alongside the strategy of a governmental, legal and political apparatus that's held Assange in place on behalf of the US Department of Justice, for more than 4 years.  Regardless of who in Sweden is responsible for not progressing this matter in a timely manner, the point about the delay by Sweden still stands and deserves examination, in the aftermath of Sweden's improbable about-face. As for the Claes Borgström and Marianne Ny 'old friend' factor referred to in Stern, how awkward.  LOL * Checked the distance between Gothenburg & Stockholm.  Varied figures.  470km was one of those figures, which is near enough to the author's 500km.
