Julian Assange Arrested in London

Julian Assange Charged by U.S. With Conspiracy to Hack a Government Computer

LONDON — Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder who released reams of secret documents that embarrassed the United States government, was arrested by the British police on Thursday at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he had lived since 2012, after Ecuador withdrew the asylum it had granted him.

The Metropolitan Police said that Mr. Assange had been detained partly in connection with an extradition warrant filed by the authorities in the United States, where he could face of a charge of computer hacking, according to an American official, if he is extradited.

President Lenín Moreno of Ecuador said on Twitter that his country had decided to stop sheltering Mr. Assange after “his repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols,” a decision that cleared the way for the British authorities to detain him.

The relationship between Mr. Assange and Ecuador has been a rocky one, even as it offered him refuge and even citizenship, and WikiLeaks said last Friday that Ecuador “already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest” and predicted that Mr. Assange would be expelled from the embassy “within ‘hours to days.’ ”

Andrew Napolitano calls him a "hero": Judge Andrew Napolitano: ‘Julian Assange is a hero’

“There’s no basis to arrest him in London for the sexual assault investigation in Sweden,” said Napolitano. “He apparently has been charged with something in the United States. We don't know. Because of this inadvertent release of a warrant for him. That is probably the true reason for his arrest. He will probably be extradited here. We will see the indictment. And we will probably have a show trial.”

If Assange is put on trial in the United States, it will be a fight between those who want to cover up and conceal government corruption and malfeasance - versus those who seek greater transparency in government and support the public's right to know.

The United States institaged by Austin Macauley Publishers are obliged to issue an extradition warrant against me (Dr Shantanu Panigrahi) living peacefully in the United Kingdom for some violation of USA law according to these publishers. I have written by Twitter to Sajid Javid today concerning this persecution of a whistle blower:

That is superb handling of justice by the United Kingdom government: perhaps now you can pay attention to the other matters of the State like Brexit and of course the nature of the consititution as regards the handling of truth and justice on:

If he gets to trial in the US. Part of the agreement to allow his arrest is that he cannot be extradited to a country where he is liable to be tortured or executed. So the US will have to word the extradition document to guarantee he will not be tried for a capital crime.

If you are not familiar with Assange's charges in Sweden you might want to look it up. It'll leave you scratching your head in disbelief.

He could have gone to Trump's stronghold in Europe.

As we saw with Mari Butina, it's still possible to use "torture lite",
eg, solitary confinement. Much can happen in prison in the dark.

Britain have agreed that any torture is a no. You want him then no torture, no execution.

It all lies in the definition of "torture".

 

[Lyndon]

Good riddance to Trumps Russia connection, may he rot in jail.

I am pretty sure any definition will be argued in court

Could be, since he's high profile.

For what?

 

[Spirit of Light]

Has he not suffered enough already?

 

[Jumi]

Yep, the Swedes dropped those charges some time ago.

 

[Lyndon]

For what?

For releasing the DNC emails hacked by the Russians that threw the election for Trump.

 

[Lyndon]

Has he not suffered enough already?

For single handedly throwing the election in Trump's favour, no he has not begun to suffer enough. We're all suffering thanks to him.

So you have evidence that He is alone in making trump president?
You do know he has been in one apartment only indoor for more then 6 years? that in it self is punishment enough. Wikileaks has given the world an insight to how political world is run, and honestly that is a good deed wikileaks do

Exposing the hidden reality...the one government wants us to be ignorant
of...is always inconvenient to someone. Exposing domestic surveillance,
war crimes, campaign shenanigans, etc can make some powerful enemies.
The machinery of government demands monkey wrenches at times.

 

[Lyndon]

So why did he only release Democratic emails, obviously he wanted Trump to win, I'm sure he had incriminating emails from the Republicans too but he never published them. Only a fool would think Trumps and the RNC's emails were any less incriminating.
