I must respectfully disagree.
Assuming he is innocent to the Logica hack, which I guess we should considering "innocent until proven guilty", he did flee from the country when facing a year in prison and had an outstanding international warrant so the fact that he got arrested in Cambodia is hardly without due process.
And what have we done to Assange? He has also fled the justice system and there is no proof that he would be extradited to USA. Now you might argue that the whole case is phony and that is fair, but then it would also be thrown out when it reaches the court system.
- toyg 14y agoHe has also fled the justice system No he hasn't. When he left, he was explicitly authorised to leave the country, his charges had been all but dropped and his arrest warrant had been cancelled.
- lclarkmichalek 14y agoHe has fled the UK justice system though, by breaking the terms of his bail and taking refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy.
- pathy 14y agoIt is true that when he left Sweden he was free to leave. However, it is also true that he has since been wanted for questioning and a European warrant was issues for him to be taken to Sweden for questioning - which he has refused. He is hiding in an embassy, fleeing from the justice system to this day. So when he left Sweden, yes he did not flee the justice system but by refusing to return for questioning, skipping bail and hiding in a foreign embassy he has.
