Swedish prosecutors to discontinue alleged rape investigations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

The alleged rape investigation involving WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is currently in prison in Britain, has been discontinued, a Swedish prosecutor has said.

“I want to inform about my decision to discontinue the preliminary investigation,” deputy chief prosecutor Eva-Marie Persson told a news conference.

Tuesday’s decision follows a ruling in June by a Swedish court that Assange – who denies the accusation – should not be detained.
