Julian Assange’s father John Shipton joined CN Live! Thursday night to discuss several developments this week in the case of the imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher.
“Publishing Is Not a Crime” — The five media outlets that collaborated with WikiLeaks in 2010 sent a letter on Monday calling on the Biden administration to drop all charges against the imprisoned publisher.
In an interview, the renowned Australian investigative journalist warns that the U.S. is close to getting its hands on the the courageous WikiLeaks publisher.
Journalists and publishers could face life sentences if National Security Bill 2022, being debated in the U.K. Parliament, becomes law, reports Mohamed Elmaazi.
If Assange is extradited and found guilty of publishing classified material it will set a legal precedent that will effectively end national security reporting.
