Follow all of the activities in the street outside the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday, the first day of Julian Assange’s hearing before the High Court of England and Wales.
Days before his son’s hearing in London, John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father. addressed a gathering at the National Assembly in Paris this week after a screening of the film Ithaka.
Julian Assange will soon find out whether he will be granted a final appeal in the U.K. in his fight against extradition, or will soon face the cruel vengeance of the U.S., says Mary Kostakidis.
An Australian senator and an MP discuss a letter to the U.K. home secretary requesting “an urgent, thorough and independent assessment” of Julian Assange’s health risks, should he be sent to the U.S.
The Assange case is a centerpiece of an emerging, global challenge to U.S. dominance that did not exist in 2010 when the U.S. began its legal pursuit of the publisher, says Joe Lauria.
Consortium News this month pays tribute to the life and work of John Pilger, an all-time great journalist who died Dec. 30. Today we republish his essay from April 2019 just after Julian Assange’s arrest.
Silences filled with a consensus of propaganda contaminate almost everything we read, see and hear, warned the late John Pilger last May. War by media is now a key task of so-called mainstream journalism.
Because of your generosity during our Winter Fund Drive, which ends at noon on Monday, we will be assured of coverage of Gaza, Ukraine, Assange and more throughout 2024.
