Assange got arrested by the British police this morning after the Ecuadorian government withdrew its asylum.
Should he be extradited to the US he will most likely disappear in prison for the rest of his life.
Dark day for press freedom or justice finally taking its course? |

"It is a sad day for democracy, he was there for 8 years, this shouldnt have happened, they shoulndt be allowed to enter the embassy. "
Actually I am going to disagree with you....
Should he be extradited to the USA... no!
Should he be extradited to Sweden... absolutely!
He may be a hero to some... but the whole reason this sorry episode started was that he skipped bail when he was going to be turned over to the swedes for sexually assaulting 2 different women!
Send him to jail for skipping bail! And then the swedes should get the next shot at him |

Hasn't he been charged with summit went straight to court.
I heard that they did not take into account he hadn't seen daylight and struggled to see. From a clip online.
I'm not really sure what or who he is only that he's been in the news more recently. |

"The Sweden barge was dropped and probably just a way of getting him to Sweden so they could then send him to the USA 
"
The Swedish charges were only dropped because they didn’t think assange would come out before their statutes of limitations were, which was June 2020.. they always said if he did come out they would slap back on the charges |

Am I the only one who thinks that this is very convenient timing for a government in disarray to look as if they are in control? I do agree that he should step up to the charges against him in Sweden but if we ship him off to the states to take the blame for Trumps presidency (he is supposed to have collaborated with the russian GRU secret service to leak thousands of Democrat party emails) then one wonders who will be the next scapegoat? I don’t particularly like him but I dont trust the reasons given for extracting him from the Ecuadorian embassy. |

Can some of you not read?. There are no charges in Sweden. He should be extradited . No one is above the law. He has hidden from the truth for years. He has compromised hundreds of thousands of secret/top secret documents and he should be locked away with no key |

"Can some of you not read?. There are no charges in Sweden. He should be extradited . No one is above the law. He has hidden from the truth for years. He has compromised hundreds of thousands of secret/top secret documents and he should be locked away with no key "
Documents that proved the USA were breaking international laws? He didn't steal them, as far as I'm aware he wasn't in the US when they were published, so broke no laws in the USA... How can the USA extend it's national laws over the globe? What obligation has a foreign national got to protect the USAs secrets of wrong doing? Are we as a country not complicate in their breaking international laws if we allow him to be extradited to the USA?
Extradite him to Sweden, if he has broken laws whilst there and they want him by all means...
If he was in the UK when he published the USA secrets, then he should be charged here if he has broken any British laws in publishing those secrets... |

Surely if he goes to the US he'll be fine. Trump loves wikkileaks. Mentioning as much during the 2016 election campaign. 33k emails exposing hitlery killton etc... |

Are you suggesting that Trump will remain consistent in his opinions? |

Swedish preliminary investigation can be resumed as long as the suspected crime is not subject to statute of limitation, which is Mid August 2020.
Should he be extradited to the US? No, he shouldn't be extradited imo over his role in leaking thousands of classified documents. The documents exposed US military wrongdoing in the Iraq war and not even the US should get away with such offences. |

it was to do with the fact that he has sex with the women without a condom, when they expressly told him they would consent to only have sex with him with one on i think
so because he pull the cheap trick they were saying he did not have consent....
anyway the man is an idiot! |

It was a bullshit charge to begin with. He was being railroaded. The 'victims' have since said they won't testify. |

this..
locking him up for a long time is the USA's way of keeping such illegal acts kept out of the public eye..

He was purportedly seeking embassy refuge because he viewed the Swedish moves as a plot to send him to America. Ecuador is now more in need of American support, hence dropping him.
I've mixed views on him but Trump isn't a safe host

So he's arrested for publishing what governments and shady officials don't want the peasants to know about. So every other news outlet can publish stories from 'sources' but if your wikileaks you can't. |

I bet the room he was in was starting to really smell and he probably smelt too. He probably is not very well either and needs medical treatment and if nothing else a bit of sunlight. For pure humanitarian reasons he needs to be out of there. |

From memory, what he and Chelsea Manning did was on an industrial scale.
If Chelsea Manning had simply exposed the atrocities committed by US forces that had been kept hidden from the public, her reputation would be a lot more credible.
She didn't. She went a lot, lot further and took a JCB into the files to extract anything and everything she could lay her hands on.
That is where she, and Assange, crossed a line.

I have no sympathy for Assange. At one time I thought he and wikkileaks were a shining light of truth and light in a sea of corruption and lies. But when I saw the help they gave Trump and the Russians to corrupt the US elections (more than US corporate money has already corrupted them) I realised he was nothing more than an anarchist looking to destroy or damage anything he could.
This view has been further entrenched by his conduct over the past few years and the way he had to be carried from the Ecuadorian embassy yesterday. If he were the man he claims to be he would have walked out with his head high secure in the knowledge that he has been defending our rights to know what is being done in our name, and he would face the coming storm the way journalists across the world and time have faced similar and worse situations.
What I found most amusing is how quickly Trump disavowed him and wikkileaks. LoL |

Trump mentioned Wikileaks hundreds of times during his campaign, and directed Roger Stone to liase with them over the release of dirt on Hilliary. Yesterday though his comment was "I don't know anything about Wikileaks"
The orange wanker couldn't lie straight in bed. God alone knows what his supporters see in him. They must feel a kindred spirit in the man with the golden toilet. |

Chelsea Manning blew the whistle on atrocities committed by US pilots deliberately machine gunning innocent people to julian Assange.
Did those pilots stand trial for it? |

It's the age we live in ..Trump can tell a bare faced lie to the nation on camera and the trumpanzees who support him look the other way.
Cunt doesn't even cover the level of fucktardery this president has owned. |

Something that riles me about all of this is the disproportionate media frenzy over Assange and potential extradition and flouting of human rights and hullabaloo considering the numbers of people of colour removed by the Home Office frequently back to places their lives will be in danger and the lack of attention this garners in comparison. |

"I wonder why he got arrested now and not before during all those years, what have changed?"
He was kicked out of his embassy residence which allowed the police to take him. |

I agree, i take any isolated news item like this lightly, possibly a face saving excuse for what Ecuador has done.
Pence visited Ecuador a few days before the met was allowed to arrest him, so possibly, a deal has been done.

Plus there's rumours that he was spying on the embassy staff and posted an unflattering picture of the president on the internet.
Also it seems they just got fed up with him and the deteriation of his hygiene. |

Bump - can we try to remember that he is accused of sexual assault and needs to face his accusers. Sweden is a fair country, it is time he was fair to his accusers  |
