WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange Sentenced to 50 Weeks in UK Jail

Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for breaching bail conditions in 2012 and taking refuge in Ecuadorian embassy. Assange was arrested last month after Ecuadorian government withdrew his political asylum. Assange is facing extradition to the U.S. for leaking classified documents through his popular publication WikiLeaks in 2010. Sweden dropped its preliminary investigation into the rape accusation against Assange in 2017, but Assange chose not to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy due to fears of extradition to United States over claims of sexual assault and rape allegations made by two women.
