dozens of journalists have been murdered for daring to question the Putin regime
He's effectively been imprisoned in London for 10 years. 7 in the Ecuadorian embassy, where conversations with his lawyer were spied on by the CIA. He's been in Belmarsh for almost three years and his fate now rests in the hands of Priti Patel after being denied an appeal against his extradition to the US. Once there he'll face a show trial and a 175-year sentence in a concrete cell in a US super-max. The CIA have already plotted to assassinate him and I'm sure once he's on American soil it won't take long for them to finish him off. The parallels with Russia, in this case, are clear.
