julian assange son and father join us now from sydney. gabrielle, you are julian assange's brother. you are worried about this appeal, i take it once he gets to the united states and he is under the custody of the federal bureau of prisons, you are actually concerned he is not going to make it out of there alive, whatever happens. >> that's right. that's why the extradition was rejected back in january. now the prosecution has given these assurances that julian won't be held in florence, colorado, super max prison. he won't be held. caveat in that in that basically they can change their mind as soon as julian gets into the u.s. it's up to the cia, the director of the cia basically to say whether julian ends up sands or which prison he ends up in. there is really no assurance at all in his appeal. it's just a way to keep this court proceeding going and keep julian in a maximum security prison in london where he has been now third year in prison there. >> mark: yeah, as you say, as we all say, the process is the punishment here. he has lost a decade of his life even though he has neve
