It seems to me that you have no idea about the case. His rights have been violated in the worst possible way for 10 years already. His reputation was deliberately destroyed. His lawyer talks, tapped. A main witness admitted to having lied. Pompeo has had concrete plans made for his murder. The extradition hearings reminded me of trials of the 3rd Reich. You have no idea what you're talking about. He is kept in solitary confinement since 4 years. Former UN special rapporteur on torture,Nils Melzer, did visit him with 2 experts. They say he shows every symptom of white torture. If extradited to the U.S., the trial will be behind closed doors in Virginia. Prosecution is going for 175 years. 5 years for „hacking“ and 170 what we used to know as investigative journalism. It‘s the ultimate threat for a free press. If Assange is extradited - investigative journalism will be a crime.
