Detained for 7 years without charge by while my children grew up and my name was slandered. I do not forgive or forget.

Appearing on the balcony might involve an assassination attempt. Aren’t there still thugs after him?
(1). In Sweden he had legal consensual sex with two women. However, the rule of law there, mandates a condom must be used. The women alleged Assange slipped off the condom and quickly penetrated them. The law states this classified as rape.
(2) Awaiting extradition to Sweden, he appealed and bail was set. He was broke. Nine persons put up the bail. 140,000 pounds. He skipped his court appearance and the judge ruled the bail donors had not been deceptive. He reduced the loss to 93,000 pounds. I would say about 140,000 dollars US. They were hard hit by this.
My own view is that although Assange has been through hell this should be noted. An interfering busy body that did not care who he hurt. Thrusting out information that probably sent people to their deaths or vile imprisonment.
Although he's probably heard of Arkancide so he might be reluctant.
