Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London last night, on what many believe is a blatant attack on whistleblowers who say inconvenient shit.
Assange took refuge in the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over a seperate case that has since been dropped.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday he was found guilty of failing to surrender to the court.
He now faces US federal conspiracy charges related to one of the largest ever leaks of shit that the the government would prefer he fuck up about.
The UK will decide whether to extradite Assange, in response to allegations by the Department for Justice that he conspired with former US intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to download classified databases, and released videos and documents that show allied forces straight up killing innocent people.
It is unknown if the UK feel as strongly as the Americans do about shutting this bloke up by putting him in Guantanamo Bay for the rest of his life, after he made Hillary Clinton look like the war-monger that she is.
However, given the UK’s tendency to follow America into international violations of human rights, it doesn’t look good for this mischeivous little Townsville Boy.
He faces up to five years in US prison if convicted on the charges of conspiracy to commit not fucking up about all that shit.
