One of the elements of Julian Assange's persecution has been to demonise him. By dehumanising him, making him seem unworthy of humane treatment, authorities are torturing and slowly killing Assange in plain sight with minimal media or public outrage.

Assange's persecutors want us to forget how we felt about him a decade ago & forget he's one of the greatest journalists & dissidents of our time.

#BREAKING: The UK High Court will deliver its decision on Monday morning [24 January] about whether to permit Julian #Assange to appeal the US extradition decision to UK Supreme Court #JulianAssange #FreeAssange #DontExtraditeAssange #FreeAssangeNOW
#BREAKING: #Assange has been refused permission to appeal to the UK Supreme Court (SC)
The SC can still decide to grant permission to appeal now that part of the appeal has been certified by the High Court
#JulianAssange has 14 days to request permission to appeal from the SC.

Disgraceful
The High Court have limited what the Supreme Court can consider, i.e. a very specific point of law
“In what circumstances can an appellate court receive assurances from a requesting state which were not before the court of first instance in extradition proceedings?”

1/. COUNTDOWN TO JUSTICE
It is ironic that no one responsible for war crimes in #Afghanistan & #Iraq has been punished
And yet the man who helped exposed these crimes is in the dock
Next month, #JulianAssange will have his final extradition appeal hearing in London. #Assange

In her letter, the judge expresses her "regret" at her decision to deny remote access to the proceedings to @amnesty but offers no reason for her decision
Instead, she sets out rules to ensure the court is #COVID19 safe
But remote access is FAR safer than practices I witnessed.

Telling legal observers - some of whom are from the European Parliament - that they have to compete with the public for one of 8 gallery seats results in a scrum of people at the doorway to the court.
There was no distancing & even court officials & police weren't wearing masks.

Julian Assange’s detention “sets a dangerous precedent for journalists”, according to politicians from the Council of Europe’s parliamentary arm, who voted on Tuesday to oppose the WikiLeaks founder’s extradition to the US
theguardian.com/media/2020/jan…
theguardian.com/media/2020/jan…
Labour peer and UK Rapporteur on #mediafreedom Lord Foulkes, ...had drafted an initial report – Threats to Media Freedom and Journalists’ Security in Europe – that will now contain amendments referring to Assange tabled by a number of European parliamentarians.
One of the amendments backs the recommendation of the UN special rapporteur on torture who called last year for Assange’s release and for extradition to the United States to be blocked.

- accessory after the fact
- misprision of a felony
- conspiracy
- false statements
- unauthorised access of protected computer
- obstruction of justice
- witness tampering
- wire fraud & conspiracy

Article 4 of the Extradition Treaty between the UK and the USA states that: "Extradition shall not be granted if the offense for which extradition is requested is a political offense."

The British govt's treatment of Julian Assange is a grotesque abuse of state power.
The circumstances of his incarceration are tantamount to torture.
The Extradition Treaty clearly doesn't apply in his case because his 'offence' was political, i.e. he exposed US war crimes. 2/5

Yesterday's proceedings at Westminster Magistrates Court for the case management hearing regarding the attempts to extradite #JulianAssange to the US, were both sinister and farcical. The events that unfolded in that courtroom brought our judicial system into disrepute. 3/5
