Academics, journalists, activists, human rights groups, and politicans have all come out against this. There is no legal basis for detaining or extraditing Assange. The CIA spied on his lawyers and plotted to kill him. A key FBI informant in his case admitted to lying in exchange for immunity. There is no way he can have a fair trial now. Assange deserves a medal. His actions should be celebrated. He must **never** be extradited to the United States where he'll probably be tortured for the rest of his life or killed. If he is extradited and prosecuted, it will be a huge disaster for press freedom and free expression in the west. It's a direct attack on the First Amendment. All news organizations will be subject to potential investigation. -Please show your support for Assange. This is important.
