Stefania Maurizi, John Goetz and Christian Mihr discussed in Georg Büchner Buchladen (bookshop) in Berlin about: “What is the Purpose of Journalism if War Crimes Are Not Allowed to be Published?”.

I think this is a good question for discussion. What do you think?

Assange gets court date for last-gasp bid to avoid extradition to US
  • For years the appeals process was dominated by the factor of Julian's mental health and whether or not he would survive US prison condition. Then after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal of the High Court ruling allowing flimsy US assurances, his application for a cross appeal of the ruling by the first instance court was finally allowed to be submitted - a document I highly recommend reading (Craig Murray published it this year). The judge then sat on it for the most part of a year before lazily rejecting it half a year ago in a 3 page document. His legal team immediately filed to have this decision appealed and have been waiting for a court date to be set for the past half year. It was said to be just a 30 minute sitting. This 2-judge panel court-date is the last avenue of appeal in the UK justice system to stop extradition to the US. Imagine being up in the air for year after year, always inching closer towards your biggest fear. This travesty must be stopped.

  • Did you read the article?

    “The demonstrations have all been peaceful and generally numbers in the range of a few hundred persons. Embassy RSO notes the rallies have featured very little, if any, anti-American sentiment,” the US embassy cable, dated 17 December 2010, reads. “Wikileaks supporters held a recent demonstration in Canberra’s central business district and made no attempt to march to the US Embassy or direct any ire at other American interests.”

  • Will the High Court finally let freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, due process, and other essential human and legal rights take centre stage in this UK-US extradition case? That is the question to be decided at this February hearing.

  • [2022] ‘Publishing is not a crime’: media groups urge US to drop Julian Assange charges. First outlets to publish WikiLeaks material, including the Guardian, come together to oppose prosecution
  • While I'm glad this post did so well, I do apologies to anyone I may have offended by posting a barely 1yr old article in a news community. Please let me explain. My understanding is that news is information about current events. The letter written by the editors and publishers of: The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El País, which were WikiLeaks' media partners, attempts to protect investigative journalism as an institution, which is still threatened by the persecution of Julian Assange is a current event: in fact, now is a critical moment, with his last-gasp UK appeal in the extradition-fight set for 2 months from now. When an event happens in slow-motion, such as this slow-motion torture-to-death, we have to widen our field of vision to get a clear picture of what's going on. If you want more recent criticism of the case by prominent journalists, the US just had another Belmarsh Tribunal. I posted about it here: https://aussie.zone/post/5092162
