🚨Julian Assange's final extradition hearing has just opened at the High Court in London.

Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here👇
A brief recap:

The US seeks the extradition of Julian Assange for 18 alleged offences relating to the obtaining and publication of sensitive information.

If extradited, Assange faces up to 175 years in a US supermax prison.
Assange's journey through the UK courts has been long and winding.

In January 2021, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled against extradition on mental health grounds. This decision was overturned in December 2021 when the US provided assurances about prison conditions.

"I do not think I have ever seen the speed at which the situation has deteriorated in the Gaza Strip", the official said.

"There is a smell of death in buildings and from buildings... It is under bombardment every day. You wake up to the sound of drones". Image
"You meet walking zombies in Gaza because people just cannot believe the situation they are living in", the official added.

The level of hunger in Gaza is now "catastrophic". Image

🚨Day X: The final session of Julian Assange's extradition hearing has now opened at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here 👇
The court opens by acknowledging the numerous difficulties that journalists and members of the public had with following the proceedings yesterday, due to technical difficulties in the court.

This has been a common feature of Assange's hearings in the UK.
There is no sign of Assange in court.

Yesterday, Assange was too unwell to attend either in person or online.

In December, it was reported that the WikiLeaks founder broke a rib while coughing. He suffers from a chronic lung condition.

Assange is unwell and cannot attend in person or online.

In December, the WikiLeaks founder was so ill that he broke a rib while coughing.
For the defence, Edward Fitzgerald lays out grounds for appeal:
- extradition should not be granted for political offences
- would breach ECHR articles 7 & 10
- risks unfair & disproportionate penalties

⚠️In Commons debate on #Gaza yesterday, both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer failed to condemn Israel for its actions in #Gaza and didn't mention collective punishment, a war crime.

Sunak delivered a series of apologias for current Israeli policies. See 🧵

tinyurl.com/2p8r7s73
Image
Far from highlighting Israeli crimes of collective punishment and mass bombing of #Gaza, Sunak repeatedly said Israel is "of course" acting within international law.

Image
Image
Image
Sunak defended repeatedly Israel's order to forcibly move Gazans from the north of the territory, widely condemned by the UN and human rights organisations.

He claimed this is intended to "minimise civilian casualties".

👉NEW -- When I was censored by the British art establishment to appease Pinochet’s regime

By @peterkennardx

50 years on from the coup in Chile, the UK’s most important political artist recounts how the Barbican censored his work for Pinochet officials.
declassifieduk.org/when-i-was-cen…
In 1985, Kennard had a retrospective at the Barbican Arts Centre. The day before it opened, management told him he had to remove two images against the 1973 Chile coup.

Kennard refused, but came in the next day to see one covered with a cloth and the other unscrewed from wall. Image
The reason the Barbican wanted the Chile images gone was Midland Bank (now HSBC) had hired the Barbican cinema for a meeting between some of Pinochet’s finance officials and British bankers.

To access the cinema they would have had to walk past Kennard's exhibition. Image
