>Why should they?

Because, as confirmed by the Swedish supreme court, that's their fucking job.

> They have a valid arrest warrant for a fugitive. Their usual process is for the fugitive to be brought to a convenient location in Sweden for questioning.

This is not true

>Why does this fugitive have the right to insist a public servant comes to see them?

Why does anyone have a right to due process? Assange has every right to respond to the Swedish enquiry from the UK, but the prosecutor has not allowed him to make his statement on the accusations against him.

>fugitive

What are you smoking? Assange is not a fugitive in Sweden, the only country that could consider him a fugitive is the UK.

>If I were a prosecutor dealing with a busy case load I might well do the same: especially when I can leave the whole mess for the UK to deal with!

But in Sweden you can't, as the courts have confirmed. This is like locking someone up in jail until trial and refusing to interview them because you're busy.
