Julian Assange is facing possible extradition from Britain to the United States, to continue his brutal punishment (which the UN special rapporteur on torture has called torture) and to be tried in a criminal court for the offense of having exposed crimes by the U.S. military.
What he did may be rare, but we ought to be able to identify it as what it is: journalism.
Assange spent seven years confined in Equador's embassy in London, where he found refuge from what he correctly maintained -- but the U.S. government falsely denied -- was an effort by the U.S. government to have him extradited to the United States. While he was there, the U.S. government had him spied on, violated his attorney-client privlege, and made plans to murder him.
Since then, Assange has spent four more years in a British prison where his health has been deteriorating. That's a total of 11 years in confinement, and the U.S. Justice Department now wants him to spend even more years in a U.S. prison.
Julian Assange has already been punished for the crime of journalism.
