The United Kingdom Government gives the green light for the extradition of Assange to the United States
- Priti Patel, UK Interior Minister, gives the green light to the extradition of Julian Assanz. On 14 March, the Supreme Court authorized extradition, but the opinion of the current government was lacking.
The Wikileaks creator has been imprisoned in the United Kingdom since 2019, when British police entered the Ecuadorian embassy and took their hair. She was protected at the embassy since in 2012 Sweden ordered her to be arrested. Now, the Assenge Law Team will go to the Supreme Court of England.
The last round of the lawsuit has been the opposite of Assenge, but it has not always been the case, because at the first trial a court of first instance denied extradition on the grounds that the life of the prisoner would be in danger in the United States. Subsequently, the London Court of Appeal dismissed the decision, after ensuring that EE.UU. It would guarantee Assenge's health. According to Amnesty International, however, "these guarantees are not very credible with the existing background".
According to Wikileaks, today's one "is a sad day for freedom of expression and British democracy" and "we will always remember Minister Patel as an US accomplice in criminalizing investigative journalism."
Life-long prison risk
Wikileaks published thousands of US military and diplomatic documents in 2010, so US authorities accuse Assange of violating the Spy Act. Fraud and computer abuse are also accusations. As a result, it can be punished with 175 years ' imprisonment.
Assange's state of health has been serious since he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy and the situation has worsened in prison. His defence argues that extradition endangers Assange's life. However, the UK Home Office sees no danger to this.
Attack on journalism
The most important journalistic organizations around the world have described the U.S. efforts against Assange as aggression against the profession, in the conviction that it is intended to fundamentally condemn journalistic research work. In the interview we published in 2017, Nils Melzer, a special narrator of UN torture, also denounced the issue and offered his most important keys. Dialogue is key to anyone who wants to understand the details of the issue.
In 2010, WikiLeaks, with the collaboration of mass media, published one of the widest leaks in the history of "secret" documents. Over 700,000 files of the U.S. intelligence services, which evidenced the opaque and cruel diplomatic and military actions of many governments and... [+]
