My issue is that this seems to have been done to Assange without due process.

He has not been charged with a crime. The charges in Sweden are garbage, the Swedish police practically admitted as much.

No one, anywhere, has proven that anything Wikileaks has done is illegal.

They're calling him a terrorist, of course they are, for the past 10 years the US has used that label to justify the trampling of human rights, as soon as they label someone a terrorist all of a sudden they can do whatever they want with him and the law is left by the wayside.
