Some 200 UK citizens have been extradited from Britain to the US. Only 11 Americans have been extradited to the UK.

The panel discussed whether the Extradition Treaty is fit for purpose. On the panel was David Davis MP and Radd Seiger, legal advisor for Harry Dunn family. Moderated by Helena Kennedy QC. Watch it here:

    “The UK-US Extradition Treaty—Should it Be Replaced?”

    How about replacement of government with people of good character.

    “The UK-US Extradition Treaty—Should it Be Replaced?”

    Just another document to be ignored.

    Trump pardons war criminals but not those that have exposed war crimes.

    The treaty clearly states that the extradition does not apply to political prisoners – Julian Assange is very clearly a political prisoner.

    – Even though the DNC material was leaked – or that Manning has always’s maintained that she acted alone – Assange will face charges of espionage if extradited – It could not be any more political.

    – Trump isn’t the problem in this perse – Trump is the pus coming out of a of a zit – the symptom of the rot that prevails in a thoroughly corrupt system where ”exceptionalism” takes precedence over the exposure of war crimes – the US has never abided to the Nuremberg principles – if anything Trump pardons war criminals but not those that have exposed war crimes.

    – US exceptionalism is nothing more than a smoke screen to hide Washington/Langley’s criminal activity carried out for the benefit of their true masters.

    – Considering how the judicial system is being abused for the benefit of protecting war criminals – Now is definitely not the time to enable those presently holding on to political power to make certain changes that will only benefit their masters and not those who are meant to be protected.

    if anything ought to changed and replaced than it’s ”civil servants” occupying high office – If anything ought to be changed it’s the return of Due Process and the Magna Carta – If anything ought to be changed – it’s exceptionalism.

      Trump can’t do anything for Assange for the same reason he can’t do anything for Roger Stone. The deep state and the media will use it against him. Trump is leaving it to Barr. The main accusation against Assange has been exposed as a hoax. CrowdStrike admitted that it had no evidence that the Russians hacked the Democrat emails. That supports Assange claim that Russia was not his source. That and the debunked Swedish case were what was used to blacken his name. The thing he was charged with was just good journalism that he did with the Guardian and the New York Times. The UK should simply grow a spine and say that it is a free country with a free press. It should protect Assange as a journalist and publisher who was working in the UK under UK laws. Assange has served his time for jumping bail. He is now a political prisoner.
