Julian Assange is serving his sixth year without UK charge at London's high-security Belmarsh Prison, and faces extradition to the US for WikiLeaks' publication of that state's war crimes and malfeasance.

Assange has been incarcerated at Belmarsh since April 2019. He was dragged out of the Embassy of Ecuador by London's Metropolitan Police in violation of his asylum rights on April 11, 2019 and taken directly to Westminster Magistrates' Court, then to the prison, where he has languished ever since.

Charged with no crime in the UK, Assange is not serving a sentence. He has been imprisoned by UK authorities at the US's behest, in longterm solitary confinement and other verifiably torturous conditions (see "The Trial of Julian Assange," by former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer).

More than 30 ex-CIA officials are on record admitting that the agency plotted to assassinate Assange during ex-head Mike Pompeo's tenure, when Assange was an asylee at London's Ecuadorian embassy.

Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, who green-lighted Assange's US extradition on June 17, 2022, hosted "good friend" Pompeo in London less than two weeks later.

Pompeo set the stage for the political and judicial persecution and smear campaign against Assange by the US, Swedish, Ecuadorian and UK authorities with his 2010 verbal rampage against WikiLeaks, a gaslighting exercise that facilitated the ongoing obfuscation of the countless US war crimes WikiLeaks exposed.
