He's in custody awaiting his extradition hearing, which is perfectly normal. (Do we need to explain why granting Assange bail would probably be a bad idea?)
Perfectly normal is a bit of a stretch here, right? Unless you mean that putting accused people to solitary confinement (while waiting for a trial) for extended periods of time is perfectly normal in UK.
It's not and the vast vast majority of those sentenced to under a year (even for skipping bail) are released in 2/3 time as per sentencing guidelines in the UK.
Unsure why so many people are invested in arguing that this is just the routine functioning of the law when it certainly isn't
It's normal given that they cannot grant him bail, and that it's difficult to keep high profile prisoners in custody together with others.
There is no pleasing Assange supporters, though. If they'd stuck him in with a bunch of other people, you'd probably be complaining about that instead.
He could have walked out of the Ecuador embassy in England and gone to court; instead, he chose to wait for seven years in the hopes of waiting it out.
I have zero sympathies for the guy. His intentions might have been honorable, but when you play with fire, you are bound to get burned.
