Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been transferred out of solitary confinement in a British prison, where he has been waiting for his extradition trial for over nine months. That’s according to canberratimes.com.au.
Assange’s contact and access to visitors was severely limited in what many saw as a punitive action, according to the story. If he is extradited to the United States, he will face charges of spying and conspiracy. Some consider it a landmark test of the protection of journalists’ sources. Assange critics claim he is not a journalist.
Assange’s legal team and other inmates reportedly led the effort to get him transferred out of solitary confinement, claiming that his treatment was unfair and unjust.
Assange’s legal team claims that he is still being denied meaningful access to his attorneys.

Assange had better hope that Hillary has lost the number for the suicide hotline. Otherwise, she might just be calling in an order....
“Assange critics claim he is not a journalist.”
The problem is, if the people who have the power to prosecute you for speech are also the ones who get to decide who is a “journalist”, then the 1st Amendment protection for the press are essentially meaningless.
You don’t have to be a “hero” to be protected by the 1st Amendment. Hell, the New York Times are certainly not staffed with “heroes”, yet they are protected.
Wonder if the timing has anything to do with Brexit....

Doesn't the 1st Amendment apply to Americans only?
