Whatever you think of Assange, you should know why the US government wants to prosecute him. He published this among other things:

Context: that's a US gunship firing on Reuters journalists among other civilians including kids.

Assange is a bit of a scumbag, but unrelatedly, his efforts for freedom of information should not land him in US torture prisons like many others.
thats what being a dissident gets you in the us.
may there be mercy on his soul if he even gets extradited.
not even in the US
The Australian government voted on a motion to bring him home. He is a journalist who did nothing wrong.
Luckily political dissidents don’t need to fear for their life/freedom in the west, ow wait.
Btw what is up with those rape charges, or did Sweden conveniently drop them the moment Assange was pulled from that embassy?
Honestly, I skimmed this title and thought it said he was found in a ditch. I’m surprised he has lasted this long.
I really wish Assange had been able to escape the US torture regime, like Snowden was able to esaping to Russia. Years and years of suffering all because the Obama regime needed to "make an example" of whistleblowers.
Not even a whistleblower. A foreign journalist doing journalism.
I misread the title and thought it said "found in ditch"
