Why on earth are the British authorities continuing to persecute this poor man? This is a national disgrace! The mere thought of extraditing Assange to the US to face apalling conditions in prison and for an extraordinarily long period of time simply for embarrassing the US is a national disgrace. It also has grave implications on all journalists to be able to report in future with impunity. Boris Johnson should bring this farce to a speedy close. This is truly not worthy of the United KIngdom. If the authorities feel that Assange has done wrong, then he has surely paid the price already for any perceived wrongdoings. He has surely done his time. This disgraceful treatment of Assange is not the British way. – © Mark
