It has been greater than a decade for the reason that web site WikiLeaks launched a whole bunch of hundreds of categorised paperwork and movies – a few of which revealed doable US conflict crimes. Now WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has another probability to attraction a UK ruling that might enable him to be extradited to the US.
Final month, a UK Excessive Courtroom dominated that Assange might be extradited to the US to face costs of hacking and violating the US Espionage Act. The ruling goes in opposition to a decrease courtroom that beforehand stated harsh US jail situations would endanger Assange given his worsening psychological and bodily well being.
Assange’s authorized workforce has since filed an attraction to Britain’s Supreme Courtroom, however to ensure that the attraction to be thought-about, it have to be deemed of “normal public significance”.
In 2019, the Trump administration indicted Assange for violating the US Espionage Act on counts associated to the WikiLeaks launch of secret US army paperwork and diplomatic cables. The US argues the discharge of categorised data put the lives of American allies at risk.
Twenty-four civil liberties and press freedom teams, together with the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, PEN America and Reporters With out Borders have referred to as on the Biden administration to cease its prosecution in opposition to Assange. In a joint letter to the US Justice Division, they argue that Assange’s prosecution may set a precedent that might hurt press freedom and the security of journalists reporting on nationwide safety points.
Assange spent seven years in refuge on the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and was ultimately arrested in 2019. Final week, Assange’s supporters marked his 1,000th day of imprisonment at London’s Belmarsh excessive safety jail.

It’s not about “ freedom “ or “ freedom of press” it’s the fact that his actions have impacts and have caused dangers to America and it’s citizens . Everything in life has limits and this is no exception.
شكرا🙏 لكم موضوع مفيد جداا
dont follow aljazeera its a fake arabic news org
Thank you for keeping us informed about Mr Assange case , specially because here in the states none of the media mention about Mr Assange situation.
Thank you
It’s unconstitutional to keep Mr Assange
Incarcerated.
Free Mr Assange NOW
Advocates need to free Mr Assange before the next president in the USA ( since we think that Hillary will be running for president ).
We need to do everything in our power to influence Biden to drop all charges or Enter a “Presidential Pardon to Assange”
I am sure that Mr Assange kept a lot of information from the public in his files .
Thank you
US against Free Speech….shame !! shame !!
Assange is a hero. And the corrupt system that is prosecuting him should be overturned.
The information he published was of monumental political and moral consequence. And his persecution is criminal!
And yet all US news networks are completely silent. It's clear the entire system lacks moral conviction let alone self-reflection and accountability…
The US is the absolute power. If you don’t listen, you will be punished. Look at Afghanistan now! Millions will die!
I am Australian. Americans should not be able to censor our Australian journalists let alone imprison them. Freedom of speech is at stake here for everyone!!!
Australian Government DO SOMETHING he is one of us. Try to HELP HIM!!!
Mr. Assange supports criminal Russian government.
Look at this DramoFreedom= democracy.
For Freedom of Sir Julian Assange on 30th of January 2022. Thank you so much my Great heavenly father the Universe, Father the Sun, and Mother the Earth for restoring your child Julian Assange's freedom.
🙏✨🙏☀️🙏🌎
The international war crimes committed by the United States cannot be 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕕 with Assange as the scapegoat.
What a beautiful news-anchor <3 Always great reportation on the most important news!
It is weird to see Al Jazeera talk about press freedom. Femi would get in trouble for closing the program even 1 minute late. There has been times journalist would be able to manipulate that given they had important guests and subjects. I guess those days are behind now and “journalist” are bunch of cowards afraid of angering their bosses.
Free julian assange let him go home to his family
Wikileaks has published irrefutable evidence of war crimes . In a democracy it is essential that the public knows the truth about such matters . Then justice can be administered , openly . Julian Assange has done no crime , he published material that the public has a right to know and should know . Those in the highest places who conspired to kill Julian in shootouts or by other means and those who ordered the criminal war crimes should be facing the courts . Julian Assange should be free .

Tragic situation for Julian
Unfortunately the global elites and the mainstream media have done a superb job of stifling the case for Julian Assange. People must look to other sources just to keep up with news of his condition and of the progress of his case.
It is a catch 22 situation – mainstream media is controlled by the elites, therefore they (mainstream media) have no regard for nor interest in transparency – until this issue directly affects individuals, apathy reigns.
This story shows that there's no freedom of press, but only control of press. As soon as somebody does something that is really important it's shut down. Whenever the West criticizes China or other countries for their "not freedom of press" or "freedom of expression" just answer: Assange.
after scrolling all the way to the end something tells me the whole thing is being censored
China the builder has 18.47% of the world population. USA the bomber has 4.25% of the world population. The family of humanity ( the 95.75%) needs to discipline or at minimum contain it's belligerent bother the bomber.
What sane person would like to see Julian Assange punished for publicizing the truth?????
That would be pure EVIL, I would Disown being called British
Solo por memoria traigamoslo a ella!
El coraje se comparte.
Donde están las noticias de Julián ahora.
Cual es su voz?
Que dice?
Su viz
Move to Russia
The only thing that is inevitable, in answer to your video title, is the end of human civilization and this destruction will be caused by Corporations. Just as the impetus behind the demand for Julian Assange extradition is arms corporations (who own the CIA, the government and the judiciary), these corporations sell their wares over the world stoking internal wars and strife wherever they are sold, but of no consequence to the purveyors of these murder weapons as profit is the only US goal. The US demonstrate their evil capabilities even in their own country as gun profits from citizen gun ownership, means more than public safety. US war crimes are what harmed US interests, not Julian Assange revealing their terrible crimes.
Australia is guilty af 😡
Deterrent genius
