Julian Assange is continuing to languish in jail simply because he published documents given to him on the Internet. His captors are refusing to share the evidence they have against him to justify his detainment.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is yet to be shown key evidence in the case brought against him by the American authorities, his extradition hearing was told today.
The 48-year-old, faces accusations of leaking sensitive United States’ military material between January and May 2010.
The Australian national appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court over video-link from HMP Belmarsh white haired and clean shaven with a grey jumper and spoke to confirm his identity.
The Americans want to extradite him to US soil so he can be prosecuted for conspiring with army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning for leaking classified documents.
Sounds like quite the fair process.
For all the people talking about press freedoms, there seems to be little discussion about what has happened to Assange. His case is far more critical to press freedoms than anything Donald Trump says on Twitter.
