The Australian said it was “ridiculous” that the pair had gone to the authorities with their claims and pledged to fight extradition to Sweden, where he said he would not face "natural justice".
In an interview at the mansion in Norfolk where he is staying under strict bail conditions, he said he feared he would be held “incommunicado” and his Swedish gagged if he goes to the country.
He also claimed that the two women making the allegations had gone to Swedish police for advice rather than to push for charges.
Mr Assange told the BBC’s Today programme: “What is requested is that I be taken by force to Sweden and once there, be held incommunicado: That is not a circumstance under which natural justice can occur. I don't need to go back to Sweden.
"The law says I ... have certain rights, and these rights mean that I do not need to speak to random prosecutors around the world who simply want to have a chat, and won't do it in any other standard way.”
