ONE of Julian Assange's rape accusers has today demanded Swedish prosecutors re-open the sex assault case against him. Sweden dropped the charges in 2017 against the Wikileaks founder who was this morning arrested in London after being dragged out of exile from the Ecuadorian embassy.
The lawyer of one of the accusers said she hopes the Swedish preliminary investigation against Assange will resume.
Elisabeth Massi Fritz said: "My client and I have just received the news that Assange has been arrested.
That what we have been waiting for and hoping for almost seven years now, of course, comes as a shock to my client.
We will do everything we can to ensure that the prosecutors resume the Swedish preliminary investigation so that Assange can be extradited to Sweden and prosecuted for rape.
In August 2010, an arrest warrant was issued for Assange for two separate allegations - one of rape and one of molestation - after he visited Sweden.
