Anna B Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 As the title says, Journalist Julian Assange is to be extradited to the USA. Disgusting. He uncovered cover ups, and told the truth. He made people aware of what's going on in high places in our name. He's a commonwealth citizen and should be receiving our protection. Lots of people appreciate his work. I hope there are large protests to support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayed Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'm not sure why we should be extraditing Asange to the US when they refuse to extradite their diplomat that ran over one of our citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to make an example of him because he embarrassed them by exposing what was going on, and questioned their moral highground. For that he might well spend the rest of his life in a US jail.

He revealed corruption, abuse of power and skulduggery in high places, namely the whitehouse administration which they were covering up, therefore he blew the whistle on 'secrets,' and can be officially tried as a 'traitor.' 22 minutes ago, alchresearch said: Maybe he shouldn't have fled here to escape the rape charges then. The charges were trumped up in order to get him to Scandinavia from where he could be extradited. He cooperated with the lawyers from Sweden and was happy to face the charges as long as the case was tried in Britain. All the charges were dropped.
