If Assange wasn't in US territory when revealed classified information, why is he being judged by the US?
Was not the US should be judging the one/s who filtered the information and not who publish it?
u/@[email protected] explained how
the reason is that the US can exercise such authority in practice with any consequences.
a bigger concern here is his native government's limp dick response tbh
aint he from AU?
Many countries have the authority to prosecute crimes that occur on their soil even if the perpetrator is outside the country. Including Assange's native country.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make?
AU is not prosecuting here
The point is that the US is not unusual in prosecuting people in other countries. Australia and others do the same thing.
Who did AU prosecute like this?
Point I was making is that AU is failing to protect its citizen who is being harassed.... BTW ;)
Australia, like the US and other countries, does not generally shield suspected criminals from prosecution.
And that's regardless of whether the person is actually guilty. Just ask Amanda Knox.
Anyone involved in a crime committed on US soil can be charged with the crime.
Do you suppose hacking your computer should be legal provided the hacker is in Russia?
If it's legal in Russia, they should not extradite.
If I post this picture to VK from my home in the US, should I be extradited to Russia for it?
You can certainly be charged in Russia.
Extradition is another matter.
Assange personally hacked the alleged computer in US soil? Cos as I see it he published classified information from outside the US so my question would be, you can be judged for publish classified information of the US even if you are not a US citizen? As far as I know the person/s accountable for the crime are ones who probably right now are working for the US govt..
The US alleges that Assange was part of a conspiracy to hack computers in the US, ie he was not just a passive receiver, he was involved in planning the hack.
Damn, do we have ourselves a glowie here lol
I didn't say I think he is guilty. But the charges against him aren't what everyone seems to think.
Man... What is US trying to show here? That they can drum up fake charges on people?
We got it! Nobody doubted it. We are all quacking in fear!
It just looks pathetic at this point. Fuck it hound him some more! why do I give a fuck.
It just looks like a desperate exercise of coercive power!
I don't know what is going on here. On the one hand, I don't trust Assange. On the other hand, I really don't trust the Trump DoJ. Especially since they indicted Assange after the Obama DoJ concluded he hadn't broken the law.
A trial would have been interesting.
Original allegations suggested that russian operatives supplied wikileaks with the docs
So it should be a problem with Russia, no?
I guess they committed the "crime" but how is US supposed to prosecute that with out looking limp dick?
US courts can still try him in absentia, i.e. if he's not present in the courtroom.
If he's in a country with an extradition treaty with the US, e.g. the UK, he can be extradited to the US for the trial or with a conviction.
No, the SCOTUS has made clear that you cannot be tried in abstentia.
