Assange’s wife says ‘the world is watching’ extradition appeal hearing
Stella Assange, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s wife, said the “world is watching” her husband’s extradition appeal hearing Tuesday. “We have two big days ahead. We don’t know what t…
He'll lose unfortunately, as he's been designated an enemy of big daddy US and the UK will bend over backwards to make sure that happens. The whole thing is ridiculous, he's been held for years now
Yep, watching to see if fame can still get you out of consequences for your crimes.
Keep worshipping Big Brother. You're nothing but fodder for the state machine, and the saddest part is how comfortable you are being fodder.
Stupid brain-dead
Removed, keep it civil.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
They have to know they can’t get away with this,” Stella Assange said at a protest outside of the Royal Courts of Justice in London, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
Julian Assange has been attempting to avoid extradition to the U.S. for more than a decade, where he has been indicted on 17 charges including espionage and computer misuse.
He assisted U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning in stealing diplomatic cables and military files, which would later be published on WikiLeaks, American prosecutors allege.
“He is being prosecuted for engaging in ordinary journalistic practice of obtaining and publishing classified information, information that is both true and of obvious and important public interest,” Edward Fitzgerald, Assange’s lawyer, said in court, per The Associated Press.
“Assange and WikiLeaks were responsible for the exposure of criminality on the part of the U.S. government on an unprecedented scale,” Fitzgerald said in written submissions, according to the AP.
The WikiLeaks founder’s lawyers have also said that, if convicted, he risks facing up to 175 years in prison, but American authorities have disagreed and said his sentence will probably be shorter.

The world is watching hoping this russian agent gets a life sentence in the good old USA. Fuck yeah!
Yup watching to see a Russian Agent get extradited finally.
No one cares except fanboys.
Let the crook rot.
I'd argue the crooks are the ones who've committed war crimes and are very upset they got leaked.
he's not a crook... however, i question your morality
The fact that you're being downvoted tells you a lot of people only got information of this Russian agent from wikileaks and other russian leaning sources.
Downvote me fanboys. He's a political activist sitting on info to use when it's most politically damaging, not acting quickly as possible to stop suffering. If he really gave a damn about anything but being an information broker he would have exposed all of Russias crap they did in Ukraine and Georgia since 2014, instead he was hyper focused on making the west look bad.
Edit: Oh look, the downvoted didn't start till almost 7AM Moscow Time, surely that's just a coincidence!
Stupid brain-dead
This is a different woman than the one he raped, right?
he was never actually accused of raping anyone...
Stupid brain-dead
You keep saying this, are you having a stroke?
Hang the Russian spy
Then there wold be a bunch of American politicians hanging.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I see no issue
How is he a Russian spy?
Wiki leaks are published for all to view, not just Russia.
I don't agree with the root comment, but Wikileaks has repeatedly ignored leaks of Russian classified info and many of their sources appear to be Russian Intelligence.
Stupid brain-dead
