UPDATED: Despite fears by his lawyers and doctors that Julian Assange is at high risk of being infected in prison, his judge on Wednesday denied him bail, reports Joe Lauria.
Health industry executives themselves are at risk because they’ve put profit before public health, says Joe Lauria.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser had a hand-written judgement ready even before she heard the defence argument that Assange be allowed to leave his glass cage, as Craig Murray observed.

Consortium News Editor-in-Chief Joe Lauria discussed the week’s events in London with Chris Hedges.
Consortium News Editor-in-Chief Joe Lauria sat down with former British MP George Galloway in London to discuss the first week of Julian Assange’s extradition hearing at Woolwich Crown Court.
Craig Murray compares Thursday’s proceedings — during which the judge harassed Fitzgerald just as the defense had the prosecution on the ropes — to a Stalin show trial.
With Assange still caged behind bullet-proof glass, lawyers from both sides argued whether international or domestic law would determine whether an extradition can be made for a political crime, as Craig Murray reports.
Jérémie Zimmermann, computer science engineer, friend of Julian Assange and Cypherpunk guest on the 2012 Assange TV series, spoke to CN Live! outside Assange’s courthouse about the miscarriage of justice inside.
There were moments Tuesday when Craig Murray achieved the suspension of disbelief you might do in theater, and began thinking “Wow, this case is going well for Assange.”
