WikiLeaks founder's lawyer claims U.S. prosecutors are poised to charge him with spying Read more:
Source: Mail online

America is set to bring spying charges against jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, claims his lawyer.
She believes U.S. prosecutors are finalising their case against the 39-year-old behind the publication of more than 250,000 secret diplomatic messages.
Jennifer Robinson said she understands U.S. charges are ‘imminent’.
U.S. Justice Department officials refused to make any comment last night.

Espionage, Treason - all the various bunk various factions want to charge him with do not apply. Of course that won't stop the imperialist US gov't from doing it anyway. Since when do they give a shit about the law when they want to silence someone? They sure as hell didn't when they outed Valerie Plame.

5. This is without a doubt a fact. Other Countries would do well to keep him safe and not
allow him to ever come here. He will be toast. No doubt about this. Our system is corrupt all the way up the ladder.

7. If it is truly something that would derail the persecution of Assange in the USA, I say let it fly.
This Country needs help in a big way.
