It’s been over 4 years given that Julian Assange was by force gotten rid of from the Ecuadorian embassy and put in a high security jail in the UK, where he is fighting extradition to the United States. The Wikileaks co-founder is desired on 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer system abuse for releasing files that exposed United States war criminal activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the United States penal institution at Guantánamo.
In spite of pressure from world leaders and United Nations professionals to launch Assange, the FBI’s case versus him stays open and current reports specify it is “looking for to collect brand-new proof […] in an evident effort to strengthen their case versus [him]”
Rights groups state the United States federal government’s indictment presents a severe risk to international press liberties, and his household thinks extradition to the United States would amount a death sentence.
In this episode of The Stream, we’ll take a look at what’s at stake for Julian Assange if he is extradited and founded guilty, in addition to the global efforts to totally free him.
