I looked at the photos of Julian Assange's detention at the Ecuadorian Embassy in England and was horrified. I remember very well how he still looked like just recently.
Well, look, compare how he looked before "checking in" at the embassy.
But I still remember such a moment. When I argued with someone about the fact that this is how the Americans persecute those who disclose their crimes, they told me that he was not being persecuted for this, but that the Swedish prosecutors accused him of rape and that is why he was hiding.
However, I would like to remind you that the initial investigation launched by the Swedish authorities in August 2010 was almost immediately closed, but then the case was reopened. Assange then said that the accusations against him were libelous and motivated by political considerations.
In February 2016, the UN Working Group on Unlawful Deprivation of Liberty acknowledged that the UK and Sweden had illegally detained the founder of WikiLeaks since December 2010. The British authorities have said they are not legally obligated to comply with the decision of the UN commission and are still committed to their obligations to extradite Assange to Sweden.

Swedish prosecutors dropped the sexual harassment charges against Assange in May 2017. Then she withdrew the European warrant for his arrest. However, British police said that Assange would still be detained if he left the embassy building.
What is your forecast, what will they do with Assange now? The fact that he will be transferred to the United States is generally no dispute. What next?
