He’s locked up because he’s fighting extradition. He could easily not fight it, and get transferred to the United States where he would have likely been released with a bond if he didn’t have a history of fleeing justice by hiding in an embassy.

He brought all of this upon himself

In order of most naive:

1. He would have likely been released on bond
2. He brought this on himself
3. Every person in the world is subject to rendition to the United States
4. History of “fleeing justice”



Koods definition of justice is the United States arresting citizens of other countries for leaking videos of their soldiers gleefully murdering journalists. Log off and develop a coherent ideology for chrissakes

WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristin Hrafnsson visited Australia about a fortnight ago raising awareness of Assange's case, met with politicians, and addressed the National Press Club.

Journalists appear to have a sense of indifference and have not really taken up Assange's case, which really has me puzzled as a couple of high profile journo's were raided here recently causing huuuge uproars.
It's a bizzare disconnect?

Many mainstream journalists worked with Assange’s material to publish their own reports including media outlets such as the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in Australia, The Guardian in the United Kingdom, The New York Times in the US, El Pais in Spain, Le Monde in France and Der Spiegel in Germany. There has been no attempt by the US Government to prosecute any of those journalists involved.
