Ex-MI6 chief John Scarlett appointed Lord Arbuthnot a director of SC Strategy on 1 Jan 2016.
Lord Arbuthnot then resigned on 31 Dec 2017.
Five weeks later, on 6 Feb 2018, Lady Arbuthnot gave her 1st ruling against Assange.

Even if you failed to acknowledge it at the time, and even as the governments involved and now the court deny it, Julian Assange’s case has always been, and will always be about journalism and press freedom.

This is appalling. Well done @SMaurizi for fighting for access to this document. The public has a right to know what the UK government was planning in the Assange extradition case.
New leads suggest CIA spied on #Assange to secure his extradition to the US
“Meanwhile, the UK has also failed to comply with [the judge’s] request to take statements from the lawyers who were spied on while working with Assange. These delays are hindering the investigation”
To see the details of today's proceedings, see the timeline of @richimedhurst & @kgosztola, who did their usually great job of covering it live.

Look, we have to face this abhorrent truth: we live in democracies where #Blackwater#warCriminals are free as the air, and a journalist like Julian #Assange who exposed the war criminal risks dying in a high-security prison. These are our institutions.
I didn’t think I was still capable of disappointment in this case, but apparently I still am. This court cannot undo the past 10 years of hell Assange had endured, but the judge could have made it right going forward. She failed - again, unnecessarily cruelly. 18/
There are no charges pending against Julian Assange in the UK. A UK judge denied the US's request to extradite him, the only place where charges are pending.
Despite this, the judge just ruled he must remain imprisoned - in a COVID-ridden high-security prison - while US appeals.
