On his show On Contact, journalist Chris Hedges interviews CN Editor Joe Lauria on the two-day U.S. appeal hearing seeking to overturn an order not to extradite WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange to Virginia.
Edward Fitzgerald QC, a lawyer for Julian Assange, ended the first day of the U.S. appeal with a thunderous response to the case put forward by a prosecutor for the United States.
The most senior judge in England and Wales, who let activist Lori Love evade extradition to the U.S. on humanitarian grounds, will join Lord Justice Timothy Holroyde at the U.S. appeal hearing against Julian Assange next week.
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.
