Jumping bail and holing up in Ecuador Embassy.

Presumably this is before they bring a case of treason ?
Oh i see they haven't extradited him yet.

I guess that's to make sure he stays put until they have.

Two weeks short of a year. At least its not longer.

Ok, I have something to say: he's a scumbag if the accusations from Sweden are right. Actually a bit for hiding too. (for hiding at all)

But it was interesting there for a while or two... I'm just not surprised or very curious anymore.

@gol979 are you joking? What if it is NOT "all happening" for this reason? Of course I was thinking too back then, but I don't want to believe at all in the "bullshit" theory anymore.

@Gusman because most people get their news from msm and as they're just stenographers for the powerful most people despise assange.
Crazy that an Australian who published articles on a European website is getting done over by the US. I'm not sure what legal framework they are following but when did that bother them?

@mercedes810 as I said, if there's a case of rape to be heard then he should face trial and he has never not wanted this......he asked for asylum because he knew he was going to get extradited to the US. Most commentary was staying that he was doing it to avoid the charges but surprise, surprise the first thing that happened was the US asked for extradition.

Also, Swedish authorities questioned him and stated there's no case to answer

What was his original offense?
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Dainbramadge He had bail conditions placed on him by Britian pertaining to Swedens request to have him extradicted to face rape charges.He fought the order and lost.
Granted bail before order could be carried out, he went to the Ecuador Embassy seeking asylum.

@Gusman Thank you. I was wondering what started his whole ordeal and how he ended up in the embassy.

Don't know what to say, I'm not involved...

@mercedes810 I get abit nervous, though. Can't point at something in particular... 🤔

One day, this will be Snowden as well

@Picklebobble2 That is why I forever say, [b]ALL Governments are corrupted[/b]
So many deserve imprisonment.
Never going to happen.
Easier to imprison whistleblowers. Even with trumped up charges.

@SW-User So much corrupt bullshit going on. Disgusts me to my core
SW-User
Me too Gus, it fills me with rage. I do my part by attending rallies, sharing info I research online that exposes possible corruption, it’s little ways to fight back, if more people stand up and do the same thing and see the truth themselves, the more people know the more undone these parasites become. @Gusman
