Sweden's highest court has thrown out Julian Assange's appeal against his arrest warrant where he is wanted for questioning. Prosecutor Marianne Ny changed her mind earlier about questioning Assange in London. Assange has repeatedly requested that the questioning take place over the phone or in London as per common practice, to avoid traveling to Sweden where he fears he risks extradition to the US. Sweden has also repeatedly refused to give assurances regarding possible extradition.

We'll never know without a fair trial, and thanks to all the ridiculous shenanigans of the Swedish and British authorities (at the behest of the yanks) he will never get one. Any trial that may happen now will be inevitably tainted by perfectly reasonable suspicions of political interference.
