The United States’ Precedents of Arresting ‘National Security Criminals’: Snowden, Assange, and Pierucci

July 05, 2023 20:03 Last Update: 20:36

The National Security Department of the police issued a wanted warrant, vowing to bring the eight fugitive “national security criminals” to justice. The U.S. government can’t wait to jump out and criticize, saying that this move is a “dangerous precedent” that threatens the basic human rights and freedoms of people all over the world. When friends in the political circle saw this news, they immediately started to bury the fire. They said that the United States has countless precedents, and they are much more vicious. He cited three examples at random, and they were all shocked. “The villain!

Snowden exploded in Hong Kong about the shady world of the United States’ global secret surveillance. The US government issued a wanted warrant and put pressure on the Hong Kong government to hand him over. There are too many precedents for this kind of arrest of “national security criminals”.

The first thing he remembers deeply is that Snowden, a computer worker hired by the CIA of the United States, was interviewed by the British media in Hong Kong in June 2013. “Plan” came to light, causing international shock.

A friend said that the U.S. government knew that Snowden had a large number of highly sensitive documents from the National Security Agency, so it was extremely anxious, and immediately put pressure on the Hong Kong government to hand them over. The crime of espionage was immediately issued, and an extradition request was urgently made to the Hong Kong government. It is known that a senior official of the US government issued a warning to the Hong Kong government: If Hong Kong does not act quickly, it will complicate bilateral relations and raise doubts about Hong Kong’s adherence to the rule of law! It can be seen how the U.S. government used its power to bully others and suppress evil loudly.

In addition to forcing the Hong Kong government to agree to the extradition, agents of the US intelligence agency in Hong Kong also dispatched to track down Snowden’s whereabouts. In order to hide his eyes and ears, he hid in the subdivided house of an Asian refugee family to evade the spies. However, seeing the critical situation, he knew that he could not stay here for long, so he decided to leave Hong Kong.

In order to prevent Snowden from escaping, the U.S. government quickly declared his U.S. passport invalid, and faxed the extradition document to the Hong Kong government, demanding that Hong Kong arrest him immediately and prevent him from fleeing to other countries. However, the relevant Hong Kong authorities replied that there were “irregularities” in the documents provided by the United States, and unless the errors were corrected, the Hong Kong government could not prevent him from boarding the plane and leaving the country.

This of course made American officials furious, but there was nothing they could do. After some procrastination, Snowden finally boarded a plane to Moscow at Hong Kong Airport and stayed in Russia since then. This “freedom fighter” in the eyes of many people should be arrested and returned to China.

Assange, the founder of “WikiLeaks”, exposed the atrocities committed by the US military, and also revealed the inside story unknown to the intelligence agencies.

A friend mentioned another “wanted criminal” whom the US government hates deeply, that is Assange who founded “WikiLeaks”. In 2010, he obtained 700,000 confidential U.S. diplomatic and military documents on the Internet, including the brutal killing of civilians by soldiers in Afghanistan. The U.S. government was greatly annoyed and accused him of committing crimes such as “espionage” and issued a global arrest warrant , if he is extradited to the United States to stand trial and be convicted, he will be imprisoned for 175 years.

The US government colluded with the governments of the Nordic countries to accuse him of sexual assault, and the British police arrested him accordingly. During his bail, he hid in the Ecuadorian embassy to request political asylum. He hid for seven years before he was arrested and imprisoned in 2019. The U.S. government then requested his extradition to the U.S. After several judicial disputes, the British Supreme Court rejected his appeal of refusing extradition in March last year. If he failed to apply for judicial review, he would spend the rest of his life in a black prison in the U.S.

The third person my friend talked about was Pierucci, a French corporate executive who was brutally tortured to death under the “long arm” of the United States. He is an executive of the Alstom Group, and the company’s arch-rival General Electric Group of the United States has always wanted to eat the opponent. In this context, the U.S. government resorted to the “long-arm jurisdiction” magic weapon. FBI agents arrested him at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York when he was on a business trip to the U.S. in 2013. He was finally convicted of commercial bribery and imprisoned several times. Years, endured all kinds of hardships, and it was not until September 2018 that he regained his freedom.

From the above three true stories, we can see that the “national security criminals” wanted by the U.S. government are more vicious and domineering than other countries. What “basic human rights and freedoms” do they see? These “precedents” are really frightening. As for “extraterritorial legal rights”, the United States has an arm that is unparalleled, and it pulls people like lettuce at any time.

Its track record is so “promising”, but the arrest warrants against Hong Kong can still be plausible. It perfectly demonstrates what “only state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps.”
