You also have to understand the current political climate in Sweden. Assange's case is the ONLY rape that is disclosed/covered publicly. The 3000% increase in rapes due to immigration forced the government to ban the reporting on rapes to prevent racism. That also includes internet censorship, including foreign news sites.

Do you have a source for that number?

  His racism, obviously. Standard immigrant-hatred. Very much en vogue throughout Europe right now.

That's crazy. And if it isn't political, they're surely making it hard to believe that this is the case.

  It isn't crazy. He's crazy. If I search for the equivalent of "rape" on an aggregator of news, I see one case of a rape 12th of September. A man was arrested for suspected rape on the 9th. Man being charged for brutal rape on the 7th. Four men arrested for suspected rape the same day. All of these are covered in all the major news sites. The poster your responded to belongs to our equivalent of Trump supporters, meaning that, yes, there is a tiny bit of truth in what he's saying (there are some minor problems with violance and rape amongst the refugees) but the extent is extremely exaggerated and fueled by nationalism, paranoia and xenophobia as well as a complete lack of care about the truth. https://www.bra.se/bra/brott-och-statistik/valdtakt-och-sexualbrott.html https://www.bra.se/bra/brott-och-statistik/valdtakt-och-sexu... Here you can see some stats that shows the real statistics, and as you can see the levels are stable. Please note also that this isn't only for rape, but all kinds of crimes with a sexual component (i.e. everything from groping, spreading nude pictures, sexual harassment etc).
