I have the feeling that is all fake.
They killed him and this is a double.
Somebody should make a test if is the real Julian Assange.

Just to entertain this thought, if they cloned him and killed the original in secret, that would give the same message to the public as freeing the original. And the way I see it the only thing the judicial system cares about is sending a message via precedent.
It doesn't matter the message. people nowadays belive any hype and get along.
We are living in a sheeple world.
