Sparking a massive effort to stop the deportation to America as it is expected the Americans will torture him with the assistance of the CIA and then lie about it. The order for deportation to America appears to have been signed by Priti Patel the Home Secretary who is better suited behind bars rather than making any form of legislation or anything of the like. Assange is currently being held at Belmarsh Prison in East London.
Official spokesman said according to The Independent ‘Under the Extradition Act 2003, the Secretary of State must sign an extradition order if there are no grounds to prohibit the order being made. Extradition requests are only sent to the Home Secretary once a judge decides it can proceed after considering various aspects of the case.
America ‘s hellish past is no secret. There has long been a debate about the human rights of prisoners in America which often are largely ignored (look no further than places like Rykers Island so imagine what a federal prison for someone like Assange would be.)
