Time to get #JulianAssange out from his illegal extradition for espionage, explicitly banned under the US-UK Extradition Treaty, Article 4 (1) he's charged under. https://twitter.com/MrK00001/status/1239106133480144897

#JulianAssange SHOULD be protected from extradition under the very treaty the extradition case against him is being brought - Article 4 (1). Charged in the US under 18 USC Chapter 37 titled Espionage And Censorship, he is not legally elligible for extradition.

1. Espionage, a crime against the state, is a political offense.

2. Julian is charged with Espionage (18 USC Chapter 37, Espionage And Censorship, Par. 793 - constituting charges 1-17 out of 18) https://twitter.com/MrK00001/status/1208377467435503617

Again, what Julian Assange is charged with:

18 USC Chapter 37 (*Espionage* and Censorship), Paragraph 793 (charges 1-17)

Just for emphasis:

"If it's a political offence, you can't extradite a person" to a country outside the EU, said Per Clareus, a spokesman for Swedish Justice Minister Beatrice Ask."

""And espionage is usually considered a political crime," he added." https://thelocal.se/20130427/47580
