On the eve of the U.S. appeal, a live discussion from St. Pancras Church in London with Deepa Driver, Bjatmar Alexandersson, Andrew Feinstein, Lauri Love, Derek Summerfield, and Chris Williamson. Today 1:30pm EST, 6:30 pm BST.
In 2011 a lawyer for Julian Assange wrote a letter to the then Australian prime minister eerily predicting the predicament the WikiLeaks publisher finds himself in, as explained by Cathy Vogan.
In John Pilger’s first interview with Julian Assange in 2010, Assange explains how WikiLeaks works, the impact of its journalism and governments’ efforts to stop it.
The same judge that overturned an earlier High Court decision to exclude Assange’s health from the U.S. appeal will preside over the substantive appeal hearing next week.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee told Yahoo! News that the committee has asked Langley to explain reports of plans to kill or kidnap the WikiLeaks publisher.
In her ruling in January against extraditing the imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher, Magistrate Vanessa Baraitser expressed a high degree of understanding for the CIA wanting to rub out Assange, writes Joe Lauria.
