平特五不中

The U.S. government began outlining its extradition case against Julian Assange in a London court on February 24, arguing that the WikiLeaks founder is not a free-speech champion but an "ordinary" criminal who put many lives at risk with his secret-spilling. U.S. authorities want to try Assange on espionage charges that carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison over the 2010 publication of hundreds of thousands of secret military documents and diplomatic cables.

鈥�Should Julian Assange be extradited by the United Kingdom to the United States? Despite the existence of a treaty between both countries, strong concerns arise about what might be Assange鈥檚 treatment in the US and whether what he did was even illegal, given free speech protections and the public鈥檚 interest in the sort of information that was revealed by the leaks.鈥�
