Posted On 26 Jun 2015
Sweden did not accept recommendations of Cuba, Ecuador and Argentina on the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, a refugee from three years ago at the Embassy of Ecuador in London, during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of that country, reveals a document adopted this Friday in Geneva.
During an evening, Cuba asked for “taking concrete steps to ensure the access to evidence of any individual subjected to any regime of deprivation of liberty.”referring to Assange, who is requested by the Swedish justice on suspicion of four criminal offenses, of which he has not been formally charged.
Ecuador recommended “to take steps to limit the length of preventive detention or the equivalent situation of deprivation of liberty without charge and for research purposes,” but Sweden said in its refusal that “the government is reviewing some aspects of the legal framework of preventive detention,” something with no apparent link to circumstances surrounding Assange.
