Should Dalai Lama turn himself in to the Chinese authorities, too?

Even if Assange was completely innocent, that wouldn't stop the US Government from trying to put him in a cell next to Bradley Manning for 2 years, if they were really pissed off at him. These days when you piss of the top hierarchy of the US Government, you're guilty until proven innocent.

Like I said, an appeal to paranoia. Is it really so hard to imagine he might stand a fair trial in either country?
