Comment regarding this evening's Program “Agenda”

"The
Television program Agenda is taking up the ongoing legal process
against Julian Assange. The responsible prosecutor, or other
representative of the prosecutor's authority, has been invited to
participate, but declined. The reasons for this are as follows.
The
investigation is headed by the chief prosecutor Marianne Ny . According
to her, there is currently no further information to disclose on the
matter, other than what was previously reported.
The
reasons why the prosecutor has chosen not to hold hearings with Assange
in London has been previously communicated; it is available (in this link). The text has been further suplemented, for clarification.
The
case is ongoing. The prosecution does not see any possibility for
discussing in the media eventual future assessments or decisions that
may be caused by developments in the case. This on behalf of both the
suspect and the plaintiffs, and because the need of confidentiality in
the preliminary investigation.
Hence
there is an overriding interest on that the prosecutor's argumentation
pursues in the legal process, and not primarily in the media.
For
the same reason, and because the acting prosecutor is the solely
decision-maker on the case, is not possible for any other representative
of the prosecutor's authority to participate in a discussion about this
specific case.
As
soon as a new decision has been taken on the case, or if there is new
information, this will be reported by the prosecutor and published on
this website."
