Sajid Javid signs US extradition order for Julian Assange
Whistleblower and political prisoner Chelsea Manning has now been confined to a federal detention center in Alexandria, Virginia for more than four months and is being subjected to punitive fines which could ruin her financially.
Manning is not being punished for any crime, nor has she been charged with a crime. Rather, she is being held in contempt of court for refusing—on principle and courageously—to testify before a star chamber grand jury impaneled to railroad journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange into a US prison, or worse.
Daily fines placed on Manning by Federal District Judge Anthony Trenga for refusing to testify doubled from $500 to $1,000 on Tuesday, with the total now standing at $18,000. The unprecedented financial penalties against Manning threaten her with personal bankruptcy and have already resulted in her losing her apartment in June....
He's being kept in while awaiting his extradition hearing next February because of his history of absconding.
I doubt any embassy would let him in, although I guess he could get a place in one of the Britannia Hotels, or one of their Pontins sites, but I doubt he would risk his health further.
The Russian embassy staff have orders to bundle Assange to a remote prison camp in the Russian far east should he attempt at any time to enter any Russian diplomatic missionI'm sure Ecuador wouldn't have him back
He'd probably try the Russian embassy.
I think that firm was involved in trying to solve the disappearance of madeleine mccann. If my memory is correct, they were featured in the recent Netflix documentary on the disappearance.I can't say I'm hugely surprised.
Spanish security company spied on Julian Assange in London for the United States
His lawyers had asked for more time "to gather evidence" but District Judge Vanessa Baraitser refused and said a full hearing will begin in February. Assange, 48, mumbled and paused as he gave his own name and date of birth in court. Asked by the judge for his personal details, frail-looking Assange stuttered - apparently finding it hard to remember when he was born, according to the BBC's Richard Galpin in court.
Saw that BBC article Badgers . Does his mean he gets released or gets shipped to the US?
Cheers.He's not going to be released until the extradition hearing is held. It will be an interesting outcome because after what happened to Chelsea Manning (and still is happening) there is a decent argument that he shouldn't be extradited to the US.
I too dislike his politics but that does not mean he should just be condemned without good reason, particularly when it could effect others being potentially condemned in a similar way and when it affects people's freedoms generally.
Basically you have no real argument. That being the case one wonders why you bothered to post anything.Libertarian, eh?

«A murderous system is being created before our very eyes» According to Nils Melzer of the UN, Assange did infact try coming forward regarding the 'accusations' although I believe I'm correct in saying that the accusations came solely from the Police and NOT either of the relevent women. Reading this I'm not surprised that the charges were dropped.

Self awareness not your strong point, is it?Basically you have no real argument. That being the case one wonders why you bothered to post anything.
What has happened to him that you don’t agree with?The idea that Assange's rights don't matter- that, he's a right-libertarian so fuck him - comes across to me as, not only sectarian, but very unwise. It seems to be completely missing the point. What has happened to him could potentially happen to our comrades and affects press freedom. It could happen to any of us and sets a very dangerous precendent. There just doesn't seem to be much thought at all in all this anti-Assange sentiment.
What has happened to him that you don’t agree with?
A stupid questionWhat has happened to him that you don’t agree with?
Well you haven't been at all clear. Precisely which bit of his treatment, by whom, do you find objectionable?A stupid question
