Belmarsh is keeping Assange in solitary confinement. He's done his time for seeking and obtaining his asylum. The 50-week sentence ended on 22 September. The political use of the Espionage Act is on the US. The conditions Assange is being subjected to at Belmarsh are on the UK https://t.co/d2KBPHjYnM — PolitiTweet.org

"As of today Julian Assange has finished his jail sentence... So now Julian is a political prisoner, a journalist in a maximum security prison, probably for years, waiting for his case to be heard and extradition faced for the grievous crime of doing his job and publishing." — PolitiTweet.org

@standardnews No. charges don't relate to computer hacking.

Magistrate says Assange to remain in prison indefinitly. He has been in increasing forms of deprivation of liberty since his arrest 9 years ago, one week after he started publishing Cablegate. The Cablegate portion of US charges amount to a life sentence. 50 out of 175 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Defend Assange Campaign @DefendAssange

How can both the UK's @standardnews and @TalkRadio be reporting that Assange faces one charge of 5 years if extradited to the United States, rather than 18 charges and 175 years? https://t.co/V3ysPJmPBE — PolitiTweet.org

Defend Assange Campaign @DefendAssange

@EveningStandard This is shocking reporting. He faces 175 years not 5. Trump is criminalizing normal journalistic activity in US. Assange is being prosecuted for exposing war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Correct your article, and issue a clarification in tomorrow's print edition. Appalling. — PolitiTweet.org

Defend Assange Campaign @DefendAssange

Assange has been silenced since March 2018, when Ecuador blocked phone and internet, and gagged him from speaking saying he'd lose his asylum if he did. Now he's in indefinite solitary confinement in a UK high security prison. He faces 175 years in US. He may never leave prison — PolitiTweet.org

Defend Assange Campaign @DefendAssange

Assange didn't abscond. He sought and obtained political asylum from US persecution. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention told UK in 2016 to restore Assange's freedom of movement and compensate him for their arbitrary detention. The UK continues its contempt for the UN. — PolitiTweet.org

UK Journalists had better up their game. @talkradio: Assange faces *175 years* imprisonment in the US. Not 5. The US is using the Espionage Act to cast normal journalistic activity as a crime. If they succeed, UK journalists can be extradited for publishing from the UK too. https://t.co/q4BwRLjdl9 — PolitiTweet.org

The UK will keep Assange in Belmarsh prison after he completes his sentence next week. He is being kept in solitary confinement. He faces an effective death penalty if the UK extradites him to the United States. Prison conditions are obstructing his ability to mount a defence — PolitiTweet.org

If The Guardian's most senior investigative reporters are being forced out of the paper, or voting with their feet and leaving, it is a clear indication to Guardian readers that they should consider doing the same (and not fall for Cosmo-style clickbait). https://t.co/GYH49ZhGls — PolitiTweet.org
