let's not forget that australia has a number of minor islandsThe US has promised no supermax, nor even solitary confinement, unless he plays up. Plus they claim he can serve any sentence in Australia. When it's as high profile as this they'll stick closely-ish to their word. For the lols they should find him guilty but declare it a misdemeanour worthy of a small fine only.
Fucking hell, anyone got some microscopic violins handy? Julian Assange supporters ordered to forfeit £93,500 bail money
Professor David is a pensioner and the sum of £20,000 comprises a substantial portion of her savings jointly with her husband," he ruled.
"Sarah Saunders has also provided details of her financial position and I am satisfied that she is of comparatively limited means. Mr Vaughan Smith tells me that if he forfeits the £20,000 surety it will have a significant impact on the welfare of his family and his employees."
Smith said he was disappointed at the ruling and felt the sureties were being punished despite providing "a public service" in ensuring Assange met his bail conditions for 18 months until he entered the Ecuadorean embassy.
"We feel we've done our bit, but the ball has moved into another court now," he said. "We feel there are many in this country who are sympathetic."
He said he would have to borrow the money. "I rely on an income from a farm and from my journalism and I don't have £12,000 sitting in the bank," he said.
It is understood that a separate group of Assange supporters, thought to include the film-maker Ken Loach, the writer and campaigner Jemima Khan, the journalist John Pilger and the magazine publisher Felix Dennis have already forfeited bail cash worth £200,000 following a court order earlier this year. £££$$$€€€
The newly published archive contains more than 1,000 cables identifying individual activists; several thousand labelled with a tag used by the US to mark sources it believes could be placed in danger; and more than 150 specifically mentioning whistleblowers. The cables also contain references to people persecuted by their governments, victims of sex offences, and locations of sensitive government installations and infrastructure. WikiLeaks has published its full archive in an easily accessible and searchable manner, the first time the content has been made widely available to those without sophisticated technical skills.
for me its nothing to do with sympathy, or about him as a person, its about state power and thats it.As far as I'm concerned this piece of shit totally forfeited any claim to sympathy back in 2011
It’s been an especially bleak year for defenders of press freedom. CPJ’s 2021 prison census found that the number of reporters jailed for their work hit a new global record of 293, up from a revised total of 280 in 2020. At least 24 journalists were killed because of their coverage so far this year; 18 others died in circumstances too murky to determine whether they were specific targets.

I'd love to see you address the issue of his involvement with farage and trumpIt won't just be Assange that is punished though, it'll be anyone who exposes the abuses of the ruling class, not a good trend to set at all. And there's a difference between suspecting war crimes and having solid proof of them - they shouldn't be allowed to get away with that, or silencing and punishing those who expose them.
