Julian Assange was locked up for years in Belmarsh, a high-security UK prison. He was said to have published through WikiLeaks, disclosed documents about potential US war crimes, including the "Collateral Murder" video showing a helicopter attack on civilians, and evidence of torture and illegal detentions. As well as the inner workings of US foreign policy and military operations, providing a "shadow history" of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Many press freedom groups, including the ACLU and Amnesty International, argued that his actions constituted core investigative journalism, and that the prosecution was an attempt to silence the exposure of state criminality.
Then there's the anti-China media mogul, Jimmy Lai, who was paid by the US to create chaos and incite violence in Hong Kong. And hailed as a hero by the UK government. His trial was open to the public and media to give full transparency, so there could be no doubt he's had a fair trial.
The case lasted 156 days, there's 855 pages of court transcript proving his guilt beyond doubt. The most damning evidence was Lai's phone messages proving him to be a traitor who brought terror and fear to Hong Kong.
The harsh reality is that truth does not matter to 'Anti-China' US and UK.
Liverpool faced a club on their fourth manager of the season, with Nottingham Forest the opposition in the Premier League yesterday.
And they beat the West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire-based side 1-0, thanks to a 97th minute goal from midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in a chaotic finish.
The win allowed the Reds to move to 45 points, level with fourth-placed Chelsea and fifth-placed Manchester United.
