And the farce continues. Just let Julian go. He has suffered enough just for exposing the dirty deeds of the US government and their dirty war. 

 

This is just comical. The court grants him the right to file an appeal. So back to Belmarsh and pickle there for the next couple of years, while the "justice" is being administered. This issue should have been resolved within a year of Julian being picked up from the Ecuadorian embassy.

Any reason why they keep him in a high security prison? Is he such a dangerous "criminal"?

He was at one point given Bail.

 

He did a runner.

 

He’s been locked up in prison because and only because he skipped bail.

Yeah, I get you. Skipping bail for no offence get's you locked up in a high security prison together with terrorists, rapists, murderers, serial killer and such. Oh, sweet justice!!!

Is everybody who skips bail locked up in Belmarsh?

And yet the OP on which this thread is based is an example of the courts following due process independent of Government or indeed the CIA.

 

So maybe, and you should perhaps consider this, the factual reality of Assange’s access to due process and his rights under he law is at odds with the things for which ‘you have no doubt in your mind’.

 

 

And you know this how?

Skipping bail is in and of itself a crime.

 

No amount of conspiracy nonsense will detract from that fact.

Sad news. I hope Assange loses this case and is extradited to the USA, where he can stand trial for espionage.

You didn't answer my question. So skipping bail is a crime on par with terrorism or premeditated murder? OK, next time let's erect the gallows for all those bail runners. Even if they run the bail for minor crimes, or as was the case of Julian, a request for an interview by the Swedish DA.

So are you arguing that skipping bail is not in and of itself a crime?

 

Or that Assange didn’t skip bail?

 

Or that Assange has not been afforded due process under the law?

Up with your facts to prove any of the above wrong (or as you claim BS).

Assange is not accused of a minor crime, he’s accused of espionage and he’s a demonstrated flight risk.
 

Assange is not facing the death penalty.

 

Your histrionics over ‘gallows’ are noted.

Well I don’t agree with the death penalty on the grounds that it is an irreversible penalty delivered by a fallible justice system.

 

That aside, as he’s not an American and therefore isn’t a traitor(to the US) , but he almost certainly is an agent of a foreign power (Russia) and there is definitely cause for him to face trial for his part in the same crimes that Chelsea Manning was found guilty of and served time for.

 

He’s also demonstrably a sniveling coward, though that’s only one of his character flaws and is not a crime.

He's not an American citizen. Are you implying that American jurisdiction now rules the world? And you don't know what possible verdict there would be. Death penalty is one of them, but 200 years jail term in a maximum security prison is much similar. Personally, I would chose death....

 

One of his objections to the extradition is that as he is not a US citizen, he would not be afforded the same legal rights. Also, do people staying in a normal prison just get up and flee? Haven't heard that yet. You are obviously a former law enforcer or even a legal person, with an undeniable trust in the legal system. C'mon CH, take the red pill and face the reality. 

 

And, as an aside, I think that everybody should watch that helicopter footage before making up their mind. Undeniably disgusting, and just showing the arrogance of our new Master Race. They and their Commander in Chief should be on trial, not getting medals.

Ah, what a lot of BS, talk about conspiracy theories. I suppose just like all our hero Snowden. Russian agent too, huh?

He did not just leak info about the US but about many nations including the UK and Australia over many years!

 He was charged in 1994 with 31 counts of crimes related to hacking. 

In December 1996, facing a theoretical sentence of 290 years in prison, he struck a plea deal and pleaded guilty to 24 hacking charges including breaches of the Crimes Act, and fraudulent use of a telecommunications network!

Being a traitor does not always link to your country!

traitor 
n    noun a person who betrays their country, a cause, a person, etc. 

ORIGIN
    Middle English: from Old French traitour, from Latin traditor, from tradere 'hand over'.

Put your Oxford Dictionary aside for a moment and chew on this:

 

18 U.S.C. § 2381 says, “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or imprisoned and fined, and incapable of holding any U.S. office.”
