Stefania Maurizi of La Repubblica has previously found out more about the Assange case by submitting Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests to the UK. She has worked extensively on all Wikileaks releases and Snowden files. The irony of a principled Italian journalist fighting on UK territory for world press freedom - whilst local UK journalists remain shamefully silent - is not lost
@SMaurizi tweets:
"The public hearing for my FOIA appeal at the Upper Tribunal to defend the right of the Press to obtain the full documents on the Wikileaks founder will be held on London 1 July 10.30am, Field House, 15 Breams Building, EC4A 1DZ. If you want to attend it, you're very welcome
"I will be represented by three top-notch lawyers, [Estelle Dehon], Jennifer Robinson (@suigenerisjen) and by the prominent FOIA expert Philip Coppel. We have to defeat [Crown Prosecution] @cpsuk and @foreignoffice.
