Today in the Old Bailey I watched the grim farce of the US/UK attempt to extradite Julian #Assange. The bullying prosecutor is reduced to insulting the integrity of expert witnesses. Trapped behind glass, Julian is denied free access to his barrister. This is Britain's shame.
@DominicRaab@couragefound@ZimMediaReview A word about the trial currently taking place in #London on the possible extradition of the journalist #JulianAssange to the US, after arbitrary detention by #UK for almost a decade, for the crime of publishing on war crimes and serious abuses of human rights? #AssangeCase
The extradition of Julian Assange is a malicious prosecution by any standard. Even critics of the man ought to condemn this as a show trial. The "crime" in question is the greatest public service @Wikileaks ever performed: exposing Iraq-era abuses.
Drop the charges. #FreeAssange
Julian Assange's extradition hearing resumes today. He could be sent to the USA for his journalism including the exposing of US war crimes.
Along with Amnesty & the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, I oppose this extradition.
All supporters of a free press should oppose it too.
The resumption of Julian Assange's extradition hearing due to begin this morning. He faces a sentence of 175 years if extradited to the US - for publishing information in the public interest #Freepress#FreeAssange#Assangecase
Fiji and New Zealand are now among the only countries on Earth to go 100 days or more without cases of #COVID19 in our communities.
Well done to the New Zealand Government and people –– your friends in Fiji have all been rooting for your success.

Extreme heat is not a future risk. It’s now. And people who are poor and marginalized are most vulnerable.
See what it’s like to live in an increasingly warming world. https://t.co/6rZVmuLCoi
