U.S. government promises that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange would not face harsh prison conditions

No reason not to believe the government, right? I mean, they promise!

Yeah, nah... She'll be right mate. We'll get those guys we used to look after Epstein... and we can all sleep right through it all with sleepy Joe... And them. While we're at it we might as well get a cut and paste pic of him and that Gislaine Maxwell woman and after that nobody will care what happened to him it'll be a case of, Julien who? It really beggars belief that a major ally of ours can commit murder and conceal the evidence, then get away with persecution and imprisonment of anyone who discovers that and informs us about it. Especially since the present administration has used whistleblowers on numerous occasions, both military and ambassadorial against their last President extolling the virtue's of good people just doing the right thing inspite of the personal risks involved. The really curious thing about this case is, why haven't any of the major media organisations that also distributed the data not been held to account as well..?

The country of "freedom", repressing someone who dared to show the world their truths..

So often we see the US double standard with the world..

The fall doesn't stop..

So china is better?

Who's got the double standard now?

Assange is a political prisoner. Extraditing him to the US, where he would most definitely not be afforded his human rights, would be a travesty. Hopefully the brits can see this.

Look at how the US treats their allies and their own citizens. Why would they suddenly start affording a foreign national they hate the rights they so often don't afford their own citizens and allies? The USA absolutely cannot be trusted on this matter.

U.S. government promises that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange would not face harsh prison conditions if he is extradited to face American justice

Rayn Samsel will happily confirm this.

@Aly... No. China isn't any better... than Haiti than Uganda or Afganistan. That's the point comparison. Double standard is accepted as the standard.

Well, you know what they say about people in glass houses...
