UPPSALA: A Swedish court on Monday rejected a request to detain Julian Assange over a 2010 rape case, dashing the prosecutor's hopes of having him swiftly extradited from Britain.
The Uppsala district court said that while it considered the WikiLeaks founder "a suspect" in the case, the fact that Assange was currently in prison in Britain meant he does not need to be formally detained in Sweden to be questioned by Swedish prosecutors.
