Not sure where you think he "belongs to be stuck" but the only acceptable answer is at home with his family, for the zero crimes he committed. He is being persecuted for embarrassing the powerful. Only people who simp for them even attempt to still defend that position at this point. Nothing he ever published has been contested. He was the publisher. Not the actual leaker.

OK - Where the fuck do you think he is now? He's been in solitary in Britain's Supermax (HMP Belmarsh) for nearly 5 years, held indefinitely "pending extradition", had a stroke 18 mos ago and they say was not even healthy enough to attend his own appeal hearing via ZOOM last month.

Guess you just don't care about due process, right to a speedy or fair trial, humane treatment of prisoners, or observing the rule of law. The judges heard an appeal last month and have yet to issue a ruling. Why? To delay & stall the process. You belong in there as much as he does.

OK genius, why do you think he should be in jail?

Please do your homework.

Julian Assange DID NOT REVEAL war crimes.

Chelsea Manning leaked it and went to prison for it.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks published leaked material.

He wasn't the first to publish them - Cryptome,com was

He is not an American.

He wan not in America.

He is not subject to US laws outside America.

So what else you got?

So your law enforcement-adjacent bias led you to just be wrong, then.

You just think the US laws apply everywhere, unilaterally.

They DO NOT.

What is happening to Julian Assange is illegal, just we are bullying other countries into looking the other way.

He had no attorney-client privilege.

He will not be given any constitutional protections, yet you are subjecting him to abide by our laws. How do you square that circle?

Australia should be demanding his release, but they're not. Gee, I wonder why?
