WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for violating bail conditions. Assange sought political asylum in Ecuador’s U.K. embassy in London in 2012 while out on bail. Sweden has considered reopening its investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Assange. Assange was arrested by British police and taken to jail in April; he faces extradition to the U.S. to face a charge of conspiring to hack into the Pentagon’s network to help former Army Private Chelsea Manning take classified documents that later appeared on WikiLeaks.”]
