======Swedish Allegations======


This page aims to provide accurate information on ‘the Sweden case’ in which Julian Assange found himself, in August 2010, framed and wrongly pinned with accusations of rape. Contrary to widespread misreporting, he was **never charged**.

The disinformation and smear campaign that ensued was spearheaded by a complicit or ignorant mainstream media, instantly splashing defamatory headlines and continuing to peddle lies to this day.

To this end, Julian would be tried in the court of public opinion and lose support, allowing the political class to execute their goal of persecution and torture with impunity.
