I doubt it but I wonder if the Harry Dunn case had any bearing on the decision behind the scenes.

A reminder of how the accusations against Assange were forged.
https://www.pressenza.com/2020/03/ho...ulian-assange/

Still some admittedly rhetorical questions:
Which are the accusations against Assange, beside the forged ones that have been debunked?
"Breaking into computers"? I take it someone else delivered the info to A:'s organisation?
How did this put US citizens or anyone in danger?
How did the UK manage to spend 16 million pounds to observe someone being in a foreign embassy? Why did they even do that? US pressure?
Has the US been accused of breaking international law based on information Assange made public?

Now what happenes to Assange?
Will England lock him up forever, without evidence? Or extradict him to the US? What the hell is going on here? It is grotesque.

So maybe he will die for whatever reason, preferrably by suicide, how convenient.

Taking into account the Harry Dunn case I'd be reluctant to extradite.

This case has stunk from day one on and the odour of it has not become weaker in the past years.


An intimidating example is to be executed, any abuse, bending, mutating of the law allowed.

Well yes.. but then anyone can only hope that he does not get in such a situation, and become a hostage in international politics. It is about justice and democracy, and this case undermines both.

So which is worse. Being incarcerated for years or losing one's life?

What a question is this?
You want to say that Assange is safe where he is now? He is not. I foresay he will soon die, conveniently.

You discover and publish criminal action done by a government and deserve the Nobel prize, instead they incarcerate you, in a.. democracy? Just a reminder that the accusations were obviously fabricated from day one, the last witness remaining presumed bribed, finally admitting it.

Those are two different cases..
But fair enough, I became too fixated on Assange.

What I meant and should have referred to in greater detail was....no, I wouldn't extradite on the basis that the US refused to extradite the individual alledgedly responsible for the death of Harry Dunn.

Julian Assange passes one thousand days in Belmarsh Prison, dubbed “Britain’s Guantanamo Bay”

"For 50 weeks, or 350 days, Assange was held on the basis of trumped-up bail offences, dating back to 2012. The charges were completely illegitimate, given that Assange’s application for political asylum had been approved and upheld by the United Nations after they were laid. Since the bail sentence elapsed, the WikiLeaks publisher has been held on remand, convicted of no crime."

Julian Assange:
"Agreed, this is why i am leaking government files online."

US and UK:
"Kill him!"

Hopefully the Supreme Court will quickly come to a final and definitive decision that will bring matters to a swift conclusion.

Personally speaking, I don't fully understand what is going on, not having given it much thought but the timescales look absolutely ridiculous.

The time scale is not ridiculous, but wanted. Its called executing a deterring example. As Catfish reminds of and said back then already and as I said back then, too, the whole rape case is just a staged act to get hands on Assnage and tkae revenege. It has always been about just this this, and every other claim is just an opportunistically misleading lie.

States are the coldest of all monsters.

Assange probabaly was a bit naive. Snowden was far more realistic about what to expect. Assnage I cannoit stand, but I defend his cause and doing. Snowden I only have deepest respect for his competence, his courage, his willingness to sacrifice so much of his life, and his deep love for his country. Calling him a traiotr on America, is ridiuclous. Americans, and the whole world, owe him. Unfortunately the media-racing modern society has already almost forgotten about his warnings. The loss of freedoms due to this is all to obvious. Liberty and free thinking is under siege. Not just outside the Western world, but also in the Western world. Liberty is slowly brought down, for the usual excuses. It dies, slowly - but it dies.
