This article makes it sound like he was preventing the Swedish phony investigation from proceeding by hiding (in a location known to the whole world!). No, the reason for the investigation in Sweden was not just because Assange parts on bad terms with lovers, but because the US was pursuing a secret indictment against him for publishing their criminal secrets. We know that’s true because the indictment was finally revealed by accident years later.
The US has a bad history of prosecuting whistleblowers and journalists, like Barrett Brown. Assange embarrassed them, and now they’re pulling the strings of their allies in Britain to jail and silence Assange and Wikileaks.
