At a rally before the Parliament building in Canberra on Thursday, Australian politicians decried the British and U.S. governments’ persecution of Australian journalist Julian Assange, the imprisoned publisher of WikiLeaks, and demanded that he be released.
The United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel, responsible for military fiascos, hundreds of thousands of deaths and innumerable war crimes in the Middle East, are now plotting to attack Iran.
“We are going to use every appeal avenue,” Stella Assange told a London press conference on Friday after the home secretary signed the extradition order, reports Joe Lauria.
The imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher can now appeal her decision to the High Court, as well as the points of law he lost when the magistrate’s court initially blocked the extradition.
Jill Stein, Bill Hogan, Sue Wareham & Mary Kostakidis join CN Live! tonight 7pm EDT on Doctors for Assange’s letter telling Priti Patel it is medically and ethically “unacceptable” to extradite Julian Assange to the U.S.
More than 300 Doctors For Assange have written to Home Secretary Priti Patel to not make the U.K. “complicit in the slow-motion execution” of Julian Assange.
The press has been neither humiliated nor found out because most of the country still believes the lies they were told and have not seen corrected.
CN Live! is in London and looks back at the seven years that the WikiLeaks publisher was exiled in the Ecuador Embassy, with Fidel Narváez and Emmy Butlin.
CN Editor Joe Lauria joined the radio program By Any Means Necessary to discuss the latest on Julian Assange, censorship and the war in Ukraine.
