“It is undeniable that the intrinsics of Julian’s case are so shocking it is something one would expect from the worst dictatorships,” Stella Assange says.
"A thin patina of ‘process’ cannot obscure the fact that he is facing 175 years for groundbreaking journalism, that the only agencies who will decide on the conditions and degree of isolation that he will be held in if he is sent to a US prison, pre- and post-trial, are the same agencies that were elaborating plans to kill him while he had political asylum at the embassy, that is to say, the CIA,“ she added.
Assange is an Australian.
Yes, so why was he trying to influence the US Presidential election through selective leaking?
Fuck Assange with a rusty spoon.
I’m just pointing out that he doesn’t have any more allegiance to US foriegn policy than any other non-American has.
If you have a problem with people trying to influence election results in other people’s countries, then you should have just as big a problem with the CIA as you have with Assange.
I’m far from being a fan of his but I am a fan of human rights and this whole thing has been a travesty. And something I notice a lot is the sentiment that Assange should have been loyal to US interests.
