I did not know this. What crime has he been convicted of?
- sneak 5y agoHe hasn't even been tried for any major crime. He's been in jail (Belmarsh) over two years now (11th April 2019). They're holding him while the US tries to extradite him. The UN has called for the end of his torture at Belmarsh, but the UK and US seem uninterested. From Wikipedia: > On 13 September 2019, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser (UK) ruled that Assange would not be released on 22 September when his prison term ended, because he was a flight risk and his lawyer had not applied for bail. She said when his sentence came to an end, his status would change from a serving prisoner to a person facing extradition.
