I am just sad for all the victims of rape in the UK that haven't probably seen, even remotely, the same police efforts made for this accusation. It happened in a different country, and parts of the accusation wouldn't even be a crime in the UK, and obviously there are political goals behind, given the strange sequence of police work.

I'm thinking about what would happen if instead of Assange we were dealing with a person from a country where religion and government are intertwined, and that person was asking for asylum to the UK for accusations that are not crimes in the UK.
