50 weeks.
More interesting timing.
The global deep state is desperate to kill off Assange and his knowledge. No doubt he will be suicided, or perhaps a fellow inmate will murder him.
I thought FNS reported 15 weeks. If it’s 50 hummmmm.
Must feel good to be “wanted”.
The UK, Sweden, and the current prez of Ecuador have now shown themselves to be shamefull puppets of the US.
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Pardon:
“The power to grant pardons and reprieves is a royal prerogative of mercy of the monarch of the United Kingdom. It was traditionally in the absolute power of the monarch to pardon and release an individual who had been convicted of a crime from that conviction and its intended penalty. Pardons were granted to many in the eighteenth century on condition that the convicted felons accept transportation overseas, such as to Australia. The first General Pardon in England was issued in celebration of the coronation of Edward III in 1327. In 2006, all British soldiers executed for cowardice during World War I were pardoned, resolving a long-running controversy about the justice of their executions.[12]
Today, however, the monarch may only grant a pardon on the advice of the Home Secretary or the First Minister of Scotland (or the Defense Secretary in military justice cases), and the policy of the Home Office and Scottish Executive is only to grant pardons to those who are “morally” innocent of the offense (as opposed to those who may have been wrongly convicted by misapplication of the law). Pardons are generally no longer issued prior to conviction, but only after conviction. A pardon is no longer considered to remove the conviction itself, but only removes the penalty which was imposed. Use of the prerogative is now rare, particularly since the establishment of the Criminal Cases Review Commission and Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, which provide a statutory remedy for miscarriages of justice.
According to the Act of Settlement, a pardon cannot prevent a person from being impeached by Parliament, but may rescind the penalty following conviction. In England and Wales, nobody may be pardoned for an offense under section 11 of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 (unlawfully transporting prisoners out of England and Wales).[13]”
50 weeks for bail jumping?
Heck, he should have just stabbed an Englishman or groomed some pre-teen girls, and he would just get a “stern talking-to.”
They will kill him in prison. He needs to be extradited to US and placed into protective TRUMP custody.
When you think about how the UK helped Hillary/Obama AGAINST Trump, I’d say THEY have as much to hide as our “Deep State”.
AS a member of “5 Eyes”, they helped spy on American citizens where the CIA could not.
Christopher Steele, author of the infamous Dossier, is a former MI6 agent.
I’ll bet the UK “Powers That Be” have a keen interest in ensuring Assange stays on their script, or dies in their custody.
I hope the Brits do a better job of protecting Julian in jail than they did for Tommy Robisnson.
