He's still in prison in part because he broke bail, and is still subject to legal process. This new evidence is good for his defence to the underlying attempt to extradite but has no bearing on his breach of bail.
Evidence has to be presented in court, and weighed. It isn't magic. It doesn't instantly open locks. The machinery of law is slow.
I don't want Assange in jail. I just point out, this kind of polemicised writing just invites critique.
If law isn't a transformation of justice, it doesn't serve much purpose. And it didn't in the case of procecuting Assange. It is fundamentally unjust and an indictment of western rule of law.
That saidl, you are correct that it isn't the reason why he is in prison now.
> this kind of polemicised writing just invites critique.
The strategy with handling Assange was repeating straight lies over and over again. I don't see how polemics could be damaging at this point.
I know I write ludid prose. I get fiercly critiqued for being hyperbolic when I write, pressing my claim too hard. To me, this front statement made me not want to read the rest of the outrage.
he will never get out of prison. I'm sure US have 10 backup plans ready to be set in action in case there is a chance he will be set free in the UK. if he manages to be free for just 1 day, he better fly to Russia on that day.
