Assange rape claims: Complainant welcomes Swedish investigation's reopening

The whole concept of Assange's expulsion being illegal under international law rather falls down at the first hurdle, which is the question of whether it was ever legal under the same treaties and conventions for Ecuador to grant him asylum in the first place. It obviously wasn't, since he was fleeing criminal charges.

The UK would have been legally justified in expelling the embassy, but Assange was never that important.
