UK: Julian Assange found guilty of breaching bail conditions in 2012

A British court on Thursday found WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange guilty of breaching his bail conditions in 2012. The court remanded him into custody pending sentencing. Assange faces a sentence of up to 12 months for the conviction. He will face another court hearing on May 2 on a request made by the US for his extradition for alleged computer hacking.

According to the US Justice Department, Assange allegedly conspired in March 2010 with Chelsea Manning, a former US Army intelligence analyst, to crack a password stored on Department of Defence computers and leaked massive military and diplomatic documents.
