Absolutely shameful !

This is why Assange should have accepted the rape charges in Sweden, as it would have been harder for the US to seek extradition in Sweden, rather than the UK where it is a lot easier... here are some examples... including UK citizens..

9NewsAdel Injustice. That is fkd up.

This is so wrong :(

Wow !! Never thought they would do this.

Goes to show you can't hide forever. Sometimes you've just got to take responsibilities for your actions.

They got home terorist David Hicks but sending to Tramp Julian and Daniel Vasiljević to CRO? The message is clear. Australian citizens are not equal to their government :(

Right-o MarisePayne WHAT NOW? Are you pro or anti journalistic freedom? Get Assange home.

Hong Kong protesters defy police as tensions rise over extradition lawThousands of students protested outside Hong Kong's Legislative Council as Carrie Lam's government prepared to resume debate on a controversial extradition law. KirstyLNeedham Loved HK under British rule. Seeing that flag brings back memories. I feel for the people, many were so lucky to escape communism back in the 50s onwards and now they’re almost smack bang in the middle of it again. Lam is a puppet of china, so it’s only a matter of time. KirstyLNeedham The Young Hong Chinese demonstrating are the very ones that this law will be used against. I wish them success as they continue to resist the mainland, but in the words of the Borg (Star Trek), resistance is futile, prepare to be assimilated.
