Basic principles of fair justice are really not that complicated, even when Julian Assange is involved:

(1) Assange, like everyone else, is entitled to a presumption of innocence before he’s charged, let alone convicted of anything;

(2) the accusations against him are serious and they should be accorded a fair resolution within a proper legal framework; and

(3) until then, he has every right — just like everyone else does — to invoke any and all available legal protections (including asylum requests) and to have their validity decided upon.
