There is little more to be said, even the shameful and shameless Guardian has been forced to be belatedly supportive.

Never mind no extradition, Julian Assange should be released immediately. Make no bones about it he is being tortured by the British state.

The Guardian view on Julian Assange: do not extradite him

On 4 January, a British judge is set to rule on whether Julian Assange should be extradited to the United States, where he could face a 175-year sentence in a high-security “supermax” prison. He should not. The charges against him in the US undermine the foundations of democracy and press freedom in both countries.
