Thanks, Shyaku, for this personal report Archived Message Posted by margo on December 13, 2019, 2:10 pm, in reply to "Poor Julian .." Thanks for sharing this: you make a better court reporter than all those incurious journos whose editors don't even care to bookmark the date. Not even top journalist George Monbiot - who has spoken out for Assange and who now calls for better attention to democracy and justice - cares to attend these hearings. This case is far bigger than Assange itself: the Assange Precedent is about USA asserting the extra-territorial right to hunt down anyone, anywhere who exposes USA-related truths deemed to be inconvenient or 'harmful'. Now that Britain's just left the EU to fall ever deeper into an American embrace, perhaps the UK secretly likes the idea of 'The Assange Precedent' which will serve to also shield the UK's shenanigans from investigative scrunity. Given the unrelentingly bad news from the Assange camp, one can be forgiven for wondering why nothing - not even the slightest legal concession - ever seems to go Assange's way? This case is the most dispiriting, significant UK court case to watch. Commonwealth observers are disabused of a quaint notion that the UK Judiciary - home of the Magna Carta - stands as any sort of gold standard on justice and fair procedure.
