interesting question on reddit...

Will the UK have any objections to letting him go, or does he still have to stand trial for not showing up when he was supposed to be sent to Sweden?
Also, now that sweden don't want him anymore, can the UK extradite him to the US? (looking at the article below)

The conspiracist in me says that UK will take him in because he didn't show up, and then USA will ask UK to extradite him while in custody.

sounds that he is happy now ...

I'm sure they'll invent more excuses to arrest him.

About time they dropped these made up charges. Don't know if he's a free man now, but at least he won't be shamed for being a rapist, which is something I guess. I fear that if he goes free they may try to assassinate him and maybe fake it as an accident.

Perhaps Putin agreed with Trump that gave the opportunity to leave Assago in Russia. I'm sure Assange disguised agent of the Kremlin. Now only Britain can prevent it. View. I think Trump will be afraid pressure on the UK. It is enough charges in America.

London Police Say They're Still Obligated to Arrest Assange

On Friday, Swedish prosecutors said they dropped their preliminary rape investigation into Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. But that doesn't mean he can just leave the embassy.

On Friday, Swedish prosecutors announced that they have dropped their suspected rape investigation into Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. But the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), which serves London, says it is still obligated to arrest Assange if he does decide to leave the Ecuadorian embassy, where he has been holed up for over half a decade.

"Westminster Magistrates' Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Julian Assange following him failing to surrender to the court on the 29 June 2012," the MPS said in a statement published Friday. "The Metropolitan Police Service is obliged to execute that warrant should he leave the Embassy."

As the MPS acknowledges, this is a much less serious crime than the one Swedish prosecutors were investigating. As legal commentator David Allen Green pointed out on Twitter, Assange may face up to a year in prison for breaching bail if convicted.
