PARIS — British authorities arrested WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Thursday in response to a U.S. extradition request, and a U.S. federal court unsealed an indictment charging him with a single count of conspiracy to disclose classified information that could be used to injure the United States.

Assange was taken into custody by British police after Ecuador rescinded his asylum at its embassy in London, ending a standoff that lasted nearly 7 years.

There is nothing "thumbs up" about his arrest.
This man is a true freedom fighter. Unlike our current joke of a President.

Trump originally seemed to want to help America, now all he does is what AIPAC, err the GOP wants.
Trump should do the right thing amd free Assange.

Long live the second amendment.
Long live freedom.
Long live Assange.

I don't have enough information or facts to have an opinion, but I think this may have negative precedents for journalism. Not really sure though.
