      Assange’s arbitrary detention at the Ecuadorian embassy is about as voluntary as David Cameron fucking a dead pig.https://twitter.com/lizziedearden/status/695537202319769600 …

      @aral You really think he’s being “arbitrarily detained” because he doesn’t want to be arrested and face due process?

      @anyabike I feel “due process” has been corrupted beyond recognition for political reasons.

      @aral He’s accused of rape and he’s been on the run for 5 years now. How do you suggest the complainant’s rights be enforced?

      .@anyabike (To turn the question back: if he had surrendered, he would be facing the death penalty in US for a different charge: justice?)

      @aral @anyabike no EU country extradites suspects to a country where they could face the death penalty. Doubt Sweden would make an exception

      @LucDockendorf Ok, let’s say US guaranteed he’d *only* face life in prison (generous as they can be). Is that acceptable? +@anyabike

      @aral @anyabike we need a very serious conversation on human rights and I fear politics will once again interfere and make it impossible.

      @LucDockendorf This is my concern also. Assange not being tried for the rape allegations would be a gross miscarriage of justice. +@anyabike

          @aral @anyabike we overwhelmingly hear from opponents and detractors of Mr Assange. A fair & unpolitical trial should be possible in Sweden.

          @aral @anyabike I meant *supporters and detractors. Not so much from a more healthy middle ground.
