Julian Assange Sentenced To 50 Weeks In Jail

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for skipping bail in June 2012, when he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy. He stayed in the embassy for seven years to avoid an extradition order to Sweden over rape allegations. Assange still faces extradition to the U.S. over the distribution of government documents.
