The U.S. government hates Julian Assange. Can we trust the Justice Department to not put him in a SAM unit or to keep him out of an ADX super max prison?
To fight its appeal, the U.S. is now promising not to put Julian Assange in Special Administrative Measures isolation and to allow him to be imprisoned in Australia if convicted.
Because western media are designed to protect the powerful, most people are more aware of smears about Assange being a Russian agent or a rapist than of his victimization by a tyrannical assault on world press freedoms, writes Caity Johnstone.
The High Court in London on Wednesday accepted the U.S. application to appeal the Jan. 4 Magistrate Court’s judgement that Julian Assange should not be extradited because of his health and the condition of U.S. prisons.
