That is pretty much irrelevant. You can easily break a law of a country without ever going there e.g. paying an assassin, selling weapons/drugs, stealing credit card information, breaking into a server to steal sensitive information, etc.
- thefucnjosh 6y agoThe Hong-Kong protests started after a murderer chopped up his girlfriend and flew to Hong-Kong for safety. Hong-Kong is part of China. Borders do matter, I have no idea what world you live in where ordering something as extreme as an assassination isn't done more safely with a border between you and the person you're assasinating. All that being said...that's NOT what Assange did, Assange is being tried for upholding the law. The U.S. was illegally torturing people and murdering civilians, wikileaks leaked it, wikileaks did so legally, now the U.S. is trying to drum-up a technicality that doesn't exist from a case that happened 7 years ago. A case they waited to try him for for 7 years, while denying him counsel and spying on his counsel.
