Whilst the political class and mainstream media have no problem with double standards, courts may take a different view in the matter of free speech, writes Mary Kostakidis.
CN Live! speaks to Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis and attorney Marjorie Cohn about Julian Assange’s appearance before the Council of Europe today. Watch the replay.
Mary Kostakidis, for years the face of television news in Australia as anchor of the SBS nightly broadcast, has been accused of supporting ethnic cleansing of Jews for two retweets about Israel’s war on Gaza, reports Joe Lauria.
Mary Kostakidis says Dan Duggan, a pilot who will be in a court hearing on Friday, is a victim of the changed relationship between Washington and Beijing.
Close to the conclusion of the WikiLeaks publisher’s two-day U.K. High Court appeal against his extradition, a gaping hole appeared in plans to shunt him onto a plane to the U.S., writes Mary Kostakidis.
Consortium News will be inside the Royal Courts of Justice this week for what could be Julian Assange’s last hearing in Britain. Journalists overseas have been barred from remote coverage.
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.
