Clemency for Chlesea Manning: Would Julian Assange Submit To Extradition

Unic Press UK: President Obama, on Tuesday, the 17th January 2016, granted presidential clemency to Chelsea Manning [a transgender Army intelligence analyst, who was convicted of leaking U.S. military secrets]. Manning will be freed from prison custody on 17th May 2016, rather than 2045.

So, the eyes of many are beaming on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who made public that should Manning be granted clemency, he would accept extradition to the United States to face prosecution.

As of this moment, it is yet unclear whether Assange, who is taking refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, United Kingdom, would submit to extradition to the U.S. given the message that was released on twitter by his lawyer, Melinda Taylor.
