Re: Hit piece from Sydney Morning Herald Archived Message Posted by brooks on November 20, 2019, 2:27 pm, in reply to "Hit piece from Sydney Morning Herald" You have to be a special kind of vile to call yourself a journalist and smear a fellow journalist while he is being tortured to death by fascists for doing actual journalism. Here's Nick Miller from an earlier article: Even if Assange is extradited, tried and convicted on this charge – and he would fight both extradition and the charge not just on the evidence but on America’s constitutionally assured right of free speech and history of protecting journalism – he faces a maximum five years’ jail. It would probably be much less. ....... His legal team claim he could not risk going to Sweden because he would not face a fair trial in the US. It’s quite the claim. And it’s the sort of claim that requires extraordinary proof, because if you don’t have a justice system, you don’t have a democracy. https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/assange-spent-6-years-avoiding-a-possible-5-year-jail-term-20190412-p51deu.html Comment is superfluous.
