I really don't want to argue the point too much. We've obviously got different views on this, and differing experiences with the swedish judiciary system. PM Reinfeldt would not sign anything in to law regarding this, and parliament would never approve it. There's no basis in history for assuming anything like remotely like that would occur.

Also "Julian Assange är en våldtäktsman" returns 360 hits, not 1.5 mil, where most of them are the suffix of the meaning "If Julian Assange is a rapist...", so your interpretation is a bit off. As others have stated, the verdict is still out. Swedes are not smelling blood, and I resent that interpretation of Swedes as a collective and the accusation that he would not get a fair trial in Sweden.
