Let’s face it, the crimes he has to face in Sweden may be local news, but certainly wouldn’t be of worldwide interest. He hasn’t been charged with a crime, and even the Swedish government has said they have no legitimate reason to seek Assange’s extradition. It’s just an excuse to ‘get him’ on something.
It’s very easy to call him a coward, but what are the alternatives? Hand himself in so that the full might of some miffed American court can imprison him for life, or execute him?
The UK government will do anything to ingratiate themselves to the US – and even go so far as to violate international diplomatic laws and conventions, which could have much more serious implications worldwide.
My best wishes to Mr Assange…
I agree.
Also the “secrets” he was supposed to have exposed. Secret to whom ?
I doubt if any were secret to the Russians or Chinese.
I suspect the things he exposed were more along the lines of
embarrassments to certain individuals, than threats to national security.
If he does ever get to court in the US, I imagine it will be held behind closed
doors, with the proceedings being censored.
