he repeatedly refused to meet Swedish investigators at the embassy, where there was no chance of rendition whatsoever.
Sources? Because this is the exact opposite of what I read: that Swedish investigators had repeatedly refused to interview him there.
Edit: I googled and I'm still convinced I'm right: https://www.google.com/search?q=why+dont+swedish+police+interview+assange+at+the+embassy https://www.google.com/search?q=why+dont+swedish+police+inte...
Edit2: unless someone can show sources moomins answer I'll say it is wrong and dangerously wrong in that it spreads a lie.
I still can't understand why no-one has bother to either downvote it or provide sources for it.
I don't necessarily like Assange but lets not lie to create more trouble for him.

- moomin 9y agoYou're correct. Sorry, I misremembered.
- reitanqild 9y agoSo - unless anyone has more trustworthy sources - Assange has offered his testimony for years as long as they would meet him in the embassy and Sweden has refused.
- valuearb 9y agoActually, he did a show interview in the embassy, where the prosecutors weren't allowed to ask direct questions.
