Assange has been arrested in relation to a US extradition request for "conspiracy with Chelsea Manning" for publishing Iraq War Logs, Cablegate, Afghan War Logs, precisely the persecution for which he was granted asylum under the 1951 Refugee Convention in 2012. @unhumanrights
It's been stated that New York Times published exact same identical infos, but Trump admin argues that under US freedom of speech law they can't be prosecuted.
