Associated Press release published by the Guardian UK<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Assange, 50, has been in the high-security Belmarsh prison in London since he was arrested in April 2019 for skipping\u00a0bail<\/a>\u00a0seven years earlier during a separate legal battle.<\/p>\n

Assange spent seven years holed up inside Ecuador\u2019s London embassy, where he fled in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault, which he denied. Sweden dropped the sex crimes investigations in November 2019 because so much time had elapsed.<\/p>\n

US prosecutors have indicted Assange on 17 espionage<\/span> charges and one charge of computer misuse over WikiLeaks\u2019 publication of thousands of leaked military and diplomatic documents. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison if convicted of all charges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wenn die Bundeskanzlerin diese Woche Joe Biden besucht, fehlt auf der Agenda ein weltweit bewegendes Thema. Es geht um das Leben von Julian Assange. Der Gr\u00fcnder der Whistleblower-Plattform WikiLeaks sitzt seit zwei Jahren in einem Hochsicherheitsgef\u00e4ngnis in London und k\u00e4mpft dagegen, in die USA ausgeliefert zu werden. Assange ist gerade 50 Jahre alt geworden, von denen er die vergangenen neun eingesperrt verbracht hat, zun\u00e4chst in der ecuadorianischen Botschaft, seit April 2019 im Gef\u00e4ngnis. Er ist Europas bekanntester politischer Gefangener.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
