#52The one-sided UK-US extradition treaty has never been a good idea, not sure how his defence team can argue against extradition with it in place.

#53And this is why I find all the posts around China and why people/company should be ostracised for dealing with them hypocritical.
So if I post something criticizing China's policies towards, say, Tiawan or the Uyghurs, I must include some criticism of a random terrible US policy or I'm a hypocrite? Do I need to also include a criticism of, say, Russia's policies towards the Ukraine or is it only the US?

#55Since I don't understand this, I will ask it here and maybe someone can give me a clear answer. What exactly does this mean for Julian Assange? I mean, in terms of this repetitive circle of going to court and then coming back empty handed. How often can Assange's defense team appeal these decisions and at what point can we expect the "final" decision to be made? E.g. Julian is either released or he is extradited.
This was the US government's appeal because the US lost at first instance. However Assange will now also have his own cross-appeal because even though he won at first instance, the court rejected all but one of his arguments.
Aside from that, it will go to the Court of Appeal and/or to the UK Supreme Court.
So potentially 2 or 3 further appeals.

Nono. Only saudi arabia and russia are doing this. US is just following the law. Nothing wrong with that, right?

#57Will he be tried by a common jury or a military one? No way a common jury finds him guilty.
They apparently plan to stick him in the court in East Virginia, which is effectively an intelligence court given the group of people who live in that region and the political bias. He will not receive a fair trial.

#58The histrionics, conspiracy theories and outright lies in this thread are outrageous. The US justice system is not the same as despotic countries like Russia or China. Reality Winner will be released from prison soon. Chelsea Manning, who leaked the info to him, the actual whistleblower who broke the laws, is a free woman. (Could you imagine if Chelsea tried to transition to a woman in Russia or China or other nation…
Why would he do any time at all? Because the people who actually should be doing time are the people in power so they are somehow immune?
Also, Chelsea could transition to a woman without prison too. The fact that they ended/will end in prison while people who actually committed crimes that these two (and Snowden) exposed speaks volumes about how fundamentally different USA is.

If only someone, anyone, had been warning us about the military industrial complex.
You think America secures all the resources you rely on by being nice?

#60Young people IMHO have no idea what's going on. In one line: Assange in 2010 revealed and gave clear proof of American war crimes in Iraq https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Collateral_Murder,_5_Apr_2010 - now the US wants him dead. That's how imperialism works. Today is a sad day for all freedom and peace lovers. Edit: just to be clear, the perpetrators of those barbarous war crimes, and their superiors, never had to face ju…
> revealed and gave clear proof of American war crimes in Iraq Honest question: are these crimes under U.S. law?
It's pure journalism. And why would he even have to worry about the laws of a country he wasn't in when he did the activities anyway? It's like worrying about whether what one is doing is legal in Bhutan.
