Former British diplomat Craig Murray was in the public gallery at Old Bailey for Julian Assange’s hearing and here is his report on Monday’s bizarre events.
Consortium News is in London to cover the formal extradition process of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange and has provided updates throughout the week.
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.
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.”
