Thanks - I was assuming it’s the same person.
Here’s an informative review of Julian Assange’s situation:
Once dragged out of the embassy, Assange was put in Belmarsh maximum security prison, regarded as the UK’s Guantanamo bay. He’s been there ever since, for 4 years now, awaiting extradition to the US. He’s not actually even serving any sentence, he’s simply waiting through an endless back and forth of appeals with the UK courts to decide whether his extradition to the US will be granted. The judge has had everything he needs to make a decision about the extradition for over 6 months, yet Assange still languishes in prison. And what’s more is the judge actually has no time limit within which he must make a decision. Assange can stay in maximum security prison indefinitely, without ever having been found guilty of anything.

Hate speech. People that use this term make my nervous.

It is nothing more than a bully lever or bludgeon, designed to move or threaten those who disagree,

“Hate speech” isn’t even a real thing. ?How do you know the mind of someone who is speaking.
One can - potentially - hate someone or something. But that is thought. Even expressing it isn’t IT - just an attempt to convey something. THOUGHT OTOH should always be free, regardless of whether you attempt to say it or not. It is only actions that should be chastised.
