Version 0.08 (2024-02-19 07:25:09.309000)

updates: Julian Assange's fight to avoid facing spying charges in the United States may be nearing an end. This week, he will have his final court hearing in London to stop his transfer to the US. Assange, a computer expert and founder of WikiLeaks, has been indicted on 18 charges over the publication of classified documents in 2010. He is accused of conspiring with Chelsea Manning to hack into a Pentagon computer and release secret diplomatic cables and military files. If convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison. Assange and his supporters argue that he acted as a journalist to expose US military wrongdoing and is protected under press freedoms. His health has deteriorated during his time in custody, and his wife fears for his life if he is extradited. Assange's legal team plans to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights if his plea for a full appeal is rejected. Last week, a motion supported by 86 MPs, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, called for an end to the Assange case. The opposition to the motion was mainly from Coalition MPs who argued that Assange is accused of leaking national security secrets. The parliamentary vote is a significant development that the Biden Administration cannot ignore. The hearing in the London court highlights the urgency of the political push to end Assange's pursuit and prevent further deterioration of his health in Belmarsh prison or his imprisonment in a US prison. Greg Barns SC, an adviser to the Australian Assange Campaign, emphasizes the need for a political solution involving the US, Australia, and the UK to address the issues raised by Assange's appeal. The hearing raises concerns about political opinions, media freedom, freedom of speech, fair trial, potential death penalty, and torture in the US prison system. Consortium News will provide coverage of Julian Assange's hearing at the High Court of England and Wales in London on Tuesday and Wednesday. Editor-in-Chief Cathy Vogan and Lauria will provide written reports and video recaps of the day's events. The hearing is Assange's appeal against the ruling last June to deny him leave to appeal the home secretary's decision to extradite him to the U.S. Journalists outside of England and Wales have been denied remote access to cover the hearing. Among those denied access are Fox News correspondent Landon Mion, Australian journalists Mary Kostakidis, and American journalists Kevin Gosztola and Marjorie Cohn.
