Assange was arrested in london, ending a 7-year stay in ecuador's embassy. A few hours after his arrest, the u. S. Department of justice announced that assange had been charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for aiding chelsea manning, in the cracking of a password to a classified u. S. Government computer in 2010.
Assange is a controversial figure
On one hand he published Hillary's emails (from her secret server)
On the other hand, there are serious rape allegations that he needs to answer plus what about Manning's espionage? (Can't Respect someone guilty of espionage, so I won't use his preferred first name)
So, he did a service for us but on the other hand the justice denied those women for 7 years
