the U.K. government's request
The 48-year-old Australian spent seven years in self-imposed exile inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London until he was evicted in April 2019 and subsequently arrested by British police for having jumped bail in 2012. U.S. authorities want to try Assange for 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer hacking, all of which carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.
"No one is above the law," Seiger added,"and no one must be allowed to evade justice if they manage to flee a country, whether diplomat or not."
