    The law was being followed. A sealed indictment from a grand jury awaits Assange in the US. And it’s pretty common for any country to seek extradition in such a case. You simply don’t like that a case was made in the first place.

      That argument is suspiciously vlose to No True Scotsman.

      Sealed indictments and secret courts are all part of the reason I would oppose anyone being extradited to the US for political crimes.

      Guantanamo is a massive international human rights violation that dragged on for over a decade. It’s not a country any of us should extradite non-US citizens to. Or even them, probably.
