It is because he returned despite knowing he'll be imprisoned that we should now help. Those who "happily" avoided imprisonment by staying away don't need that help as much. It's silly how the West doesn't have political will to, say, arrest western holdings of kleptocrats yet has enough appetite to jail people like Assange. It's easier to go after those without fat wallets and connections in power, and we're all worse because of that.
