I'm surprised Julian Assange hasn't committed suicide. In my life from what's observable, I doubt anyone believes the law is upheld by the current generation of people in power. People of authority will just ignore the rights when convenient and honour them when an agenda is being pushed. I think Assange has his past to thank for how his life situation panned out. In his younger age people actually cared about honouring the rights of the accused more so than today.
