I don't know why you would think that. Nothing has changed recently, has it?
Sweden has been in the US' pockets for a long time, just like the other main European countries such as the UK and Germany.

Perhaps they are prosecuting him because he is accused of committing a crime?

Is that why they are now trying to block his extradition to the US, then.

Do you have a source for that?

Well, that’s new to me.

Would that it were another grand twist in the saga, that Assange was saved from certain trauma, for the sake of a broken condom ..
Alas, from the moment he entered the embassy, he has been a dead agent. What is of most import, is how this will affect the whistleblowers.
(Whistleblowers, we know you're out there. Got more fake news?)

It seems that the word "rape" is somehow exaggeration.
Per Wikipedia (assuming it is reliable source here, hasn't checked sources it cites)
"On 20 August 2010, two women, a 26-year-old living in Enköping and a 31-year-old living in Stockholm, reported to the Swedish police that Assange had engaged in unprotected sexual activity with them that violated the scope of their consent.
"The next day, the case was transferred to Chefsåklagare (Chief Public Prosecutor) Eva Finné. In answer to questions surrounding the incidents, the following day, Finné declared, >>I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape<<. However, Karin Rosander from the Swedish Prosecution Authority, said Assange remained suspected of molestation. Police gave no further comment at the time, but continued the investigation."

No it's because he's a rape suspect in Sweden - it's not a giant conspiracy or 'a grab', he's just a suspect that ran away from the law.
The USA have already requested his extradition in the UK - to say that "Sweden only sought rape charges because then the USA can extradite him from Sweden" is clearly bogus.
If he actually confronted these charges in Sweden, and found guilty, he may actually be out of prison by now.
And at the centre of all of this, that everyone seems to have forgotten, are these two women that have accused him of rape. It seems really inhumane and unjust to simply shrug these accusations off as political, and not that they might be telling the truth, and he's a criminal in Swedish law
