According to Ardin, there was nothing unusual about Julian Assange’s behaviour with her; all and any men might need to be reported to police:
– “I want him to be seen as a normal guy. That’s what normal guys do sometimes. They cross other people’s boundaries.”
So there you go; any man might be sent to Belmarsh for five years.
OH. That leaves no link on this page to the article I was referring to:
Bump!
Sorry site team; I want this one on the side bar – though it was my own fault I pushed it off in the first place.

I realise I am reviving a thread from April but I didn’t know where else to put it and I think it’s news worthy.
a preceding discussion here:

– “I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration because I pleaded guilty to journalism,” Assange told the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday.– “I pled guilty to seeking information from a source. I pled guilty to obtaining information from a source. And I pled guilty to informing the public what that information was.”
Consortium News has the full text of his opening remarks today 01/10/2024.
I don’t know if he has further sessions upcoming.
