Most countries will prosecute you if you are from that country or if the crime is commited in their jurisdiction.

- DoctorOetker 8y agoat least comparatively in this thread, yours is one of the most down to earth replies, and it got downvoted?
- narag 8y agoMaybe it was downvoted in error, sometimes it happens and it's better not to think too much about it. Sometimes the problem is that the downvoter thinks that I'm implying something that didn't cross my mind. Most times I prefer to keep the downvote better than explaining everything to the boredom point :)
- codedokode 8y agoBut Assange is not from US and he published information on Wikileaks not from US. Australia and other countries are not in US jurisidiction yet.
- narag 8y agoThat's my understanding too. But USA authorities have a history of trying to expand their reach as much as possible and there are several interpretations that they could resort to. As an example, they could say that Assange was an accomplice of Manning, that was convicted of a crime commited in the USA. Remember when Evo Morales' plane was stopped and searched in Spain (sigh) to catch Snowden? And that's a head of state violation! Or the CIA flights, etc. You can complain as much as you want but that's a fait accompli situation.
