Consortium News is in London as the home secretary decides whether to extradite Julian Assange. Watch Stella Assange’s address at the Home Office plus a CN Live! interview with Kristinn Hrafnsson.
Stella Assange spoke to about 300 protestors on Tuesday outside the Home Office in London, where Home Secretary Priti Patel will decide by May 31 whether to extradite imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, to the United States. He faces up to 175 years in prison for revealing America’s war crimes and other dirty secrets. On Tuesday, Assange’s lawyers made their final submissions to Patel. Following Stella Assange’s address, CN Live! spoke for 22 minutes with WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson. Interview and photos by Joe Lauria. Videos by Cathy Vogan.

like the banks i guess… nothing works the way it should if you aren’t one of the team-players.
FOR JULIAN
Orwell and Huxley warned –
Journalists get suborned –
Tell lies to please the state,
Start wars, or spew out hate.
Julian‘s different, though.
He’ll tell us every time
The “West” kills children – so
He’s jailed for that crime.
CIA, Britain too
Haunt Julian like snakes.
Crush him, as pythons do.
At justice, they are fakes,
Killing him slowly. They
Keep him in prison. Now
Journalists shouldn’t sup
Biden’s Kool-Aid – one day
They may be learning how
It feels to be shut up.
Heart breaking to see Stella and her boys, standing up for Julian..she is amazing and I hope, for once,
Priti Patel makes the right decision, to give these little boys, their Daddy back?
He is not guilty of any crime and it seems the US, thinks that telling the truth is a crime and
if Julian is given to the US, Boris will always be remembered for this injustice!
BS about “press freedom” here in the U.S. belies this prosecution. “Mass formation”, propaganda and other manipulation is more like an appropriate assessment.
Great work, Joe!
Back to “on the ground” reporting with camera, microphone and video.
I hope you are enthused. We are engaged.
We can hope for justice for Julian but do not expect it from the vassel state the UK has become.
love it keep it
Wish I could have been there…! FREE JULIAN ASSANGE.
Me too! No mention of Julian on BBC News, of course…what a corrupt Government we now have!
