While the chase is on to silence Wikileaks and disable its founder, the world watches and waits. The struggle to shine the spotlight on the depth of corruption inside the US embassy is one of the most intense. Commentary from US government is as expected, against the release. More disturbing, calls for his assassination were made public.
It leaves a lingering question, is Julian Assange safe in the custody of police or in Swedens jail?
Whats clear is that the crimes have become merged, the issue is no longer about whether or not the Swedish charges were correct, but more about how they can use these charges as a foothold for United States to detain him.
Considering United States history on torture of detainees, it is of great concern that the United States government is attempting to use the Swedish charges to detain Julian Assange in their country.
The same people making such requests are from the top and as Wikileaks have proven, are criminals that are not being charged for crimes beyond the fraying case they are attempting to establish against him.
Amnesty International has noted serious concern over United States transferring prisoners to places where they can be abused without accountability. The prospective of transferring Julian Assange from Sweden to United States, I would argue as no different other than they are yet again planning to breach the convention against torture.
The outcome of Julian Assanges case is important and will have a dramatic impact on how free speech is delivered in the future. You can help change this by adding your signature here or by donating to the Julian Assange legal fund here.
