If convicted, Assange would have threatened up to 175 years in prison in the United States. But even with the latest ruling against extradition, the final decision on Assange’s fate is likely to drag on, as review is possible and the case could eventually go to the Supreme Court of Great Britain and ultimately , affect the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The United States announced that it would appeal.
Concern for Julian Assange
Human rights activists, politicians, and organizations like Reporters Without Borders had previously warned that Assange would not get a fair trial in the United States. The Wikileaks founder had spent around a year and a half in the Belmarsh maximum security prison, in the southeast of the British capital. In view of the corona pandemic, it was only allowed to receive a very limited number of visitors, and phone calls abroad were not unlimited. Due to a crown outbreak in prison, an entire block was temporarily quarantined. Family members have always been concerned about Assange’s mental and health condition.
Public enemy of the USA
Assange had published hundreds of thousands of secret US reports and diplomatic dispatches that he received from so-called whistleblowers on his WikiLeaks platform. American investigators and Western security circles view Assange as an enemy of the state. However, according to his followers, he is a hero who has denounced the abuse of power. To avoid extradition, Assange had fled to the Ecuadorian embassy and lived there for seven years before his asylum was removed in 2019. He was arrested and taken to a maximum security prison in London.
