  I concur, Assange is being slowly tortured to death while awaiting this sham trial. But I do think the leaks will continue. Those of us paying attention to the Assange saga have seen a new wave of evidence of crimes against humanity being prepared for release. This problem is NOT going away for the American people. The magnitude of the crime is just too large.

    >sham trial. How is it a sham trial?
    • fit2rule 6y ago
      Because Assange has not been allowed to defend himself, by any stretch of the imagination whatsoever.

        When you are accused of a crime where do you typically go to defend yourself?

          Yea, that's how it works. Self defense is level 0 of a functioning judicial system. Perhaps you get a lawyer to do it for you, but if you cant defend yourself, you are not operating in the most basic system of law. It's similar to a place where silent protest is outlawed, and therefore you are mandated to vote. He has not been convicted, and yet he is dying in there. Just a concidence right?
