I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don’t wanna see him live another day, why is that?

      the women who had complained about him retracted their complaints and said they were used as part of a political conspiracy against him.

      Could you please source this claim?

          after looking into it, it seems only one woman retracted her accusations…

          I asked if you could source the claim that the women did this. Now you say only one did, and you still have not provided a source. I read your entire comment and the linked article.

              It’s on you to substantiate your claims.

              That which is claimed without evidence can be rejected without evidence

          the evidence “has weakened considerably.

          Despite her decision, Persson said in a news conference in Stockholm on Tuesday that she found the account of the alleged victim to be credible.

          “I would like to emphasize that the injured party has submitted a credible and reliable version of events. Her statements have been coherent, extensive and detailed,” Persson said. She added, “However, my overall assessment is that the evidential situation has been weakened to such an extent that there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation.” The Swedish inquiry’s initial phase extended from 2010 to 2017. Persson said the long delay played a role in her decision, noting the difficulty of extracting reliable accounts from witnesses after such a long delay — particularly in a high-profile case that has been widely covered by the media.

          It’s amazing what happens when you read the rest of the article and don’t just pick one out of context quote.

      Yeah, not sorry, I don’t debate people who rabidly support rapists, either.
