A Swedish court has rejected a request to detain whistleblower Julian Assange over a rape case in 2010.
The court ruled in favour of Assange's Lawyer saying the detention order was not “proportionate” as he was imprisoned in Britain and the investigation into his case could proceed in other ways.
Swedish deputy director of public prosecutions, Eva-Marie Persson, told the court Assange had not cooperated with Swedish authorities and needed to be detained and questioned in Sweden.
