Julian Assange is free.
After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.
I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
Assange has been held in […] Prison on the outskirts of London for five years, and he previously spent seven years in self-exile at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London […] until his asylum was withdrawn and he was forcibly carried out of the embassy and arrested in April 2019.
12 years… fuck…
I obviously have issues with his actions in '16
But they were going after him for releasing the footage of the US gunning down civilians. Not his actions during the election.
Good for him, I hope he is ok
He’s a traitor, and because of him many people died. I hope he’s not ok. Edit: downvote me all you want, but that won’t change the fact that Assange gave very sensitive information to regimes and dictators that has gotten innocent people murdered.
Are you talking about the claim that he endangered CIA agents? That was just some bullshit they cooked up to get him on, and I don’t think anybody even claimed that somebody actually died.
Imagine thinking exposing the CIA should be a crime, because the poor small beans CIA agents need protection. Who wouldn’t want to protect imperial blackmailers, hit men, weapons smugglers and death squad commanders?
You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.
I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.
Or, who.
