Assange is in prison because he fled espionage charges...and then...engaged in more espionage. Some people imagine that he's a hero for it, speaking truth to power, as it were. That's probably not what any sober assessment of the facts would suggest, but it's also not really an issue for throwing people in jail. You can be a hero and say true things and break the law. The best way to defend yourself against the charges probably doesn't look like what assange did - but I guess that depends on whether a person sees him as a hero from the outset.
Personally, I'm surprised at how often the very same people who bitch and moan about western decline are also cheering on the people and events which actively seek the same. They imagine that others are assaulting some tradition or culture or system - not realizing that they themselves are that other.
