Ahead of the High Court's ruling tomorrow (Friday) morning, here's what you need to know (thread):

amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
news.yahoo.com/us-stonewalls-…
The ruling deciding if the US can extradite a journalist to face trial and a 175 year sentence for doing his job publishing evidence of US human rights abuses will be delivered tomorrow on International #HumanRightsDay and while the US hosts its #SummitForDemocracy Image
NEW:
I wrote this a year ago, on the eve of the ruling by the magistrate, who blocked the extraditiom.

#Assange has been in prison for 2.5 years pending US appeals. The US #Assangecase is an attack on press freedom everywhere. It must be brought to an end.

To those who want to see Julian free: please stop suggesting there isn't mainstream support, because there is.

Denying that Julian #Assange has establishment and mainstream support is counterproductive and harmful to him. Our goal must be to make it grow by reinforcing it.
The claim that there is a media 'blackout' simply isn't true. Of course we need more reporting, but the worst thing one can do when the goal is to grow support is to suggest the mainstream is hostile or doesn't care. Instead, show that they ARE calling for his freedom.
Always show support from a position of authority.

@UNHumanRights, @commissionerHR and @OSCE_RFoM back #Assange.

@Guardian @NYTimes @washingtonpost editorial boards, @Amnesty, @hrw, @ACLU; @IFJGlobal @cpj @RSF_inter @NUJofficial...

Good article by @JoshuaNevett for @BBCWorld. What he's missing is Ellsberg's potential prosecution is as publisher, not as leaker, due to time factor. Publication is the new crime. The #Assange precedent, the first ever prosecution of a publisher under the Act, set that precedent
In fact, the #Assange precedent means @joshuanevett is also prosecutable under the Espionage Act. Just like with the diplomatic cables, where @WikiLeaks was not first to publish, republication is a crime. US says WikiLeaks great global reach justifies prosecution. Like @bbcworld
And then we have the fact that @JoshuaNevett, I assume, is not a US citizen. So we have the original publisher, US citizen Ellsberg, who published classified info from USA, and the republisher, a foreign journalist publishing legally from the UK without breaking UK law. (contd)

Please help compile a list:

1. Reply to this tweet linking statements and condemnations of #Navalny's conviction (tweets, official statements, quotes etc).

2. That list will identify people to write to demanding they similarly condemn the US indictment of Julian #Assange.

Nobel Peace Prize nomination deadline is 31 January.

Nominations are themselves protective, but a win would be so politically protective it would very likely secure Julian's freedom.

See thread for:
Links
Who can nominate
Example nominations
Why Julian should win
Backgrounders
Who can nominate?

University Professors
Members of Parliament
Members of Government
Current Heads of State
Directors of Peace Institutes

If you don't fit the criteria, convince someone who does, draft it for them.

Full list:

Note: Deadline 31 January
I'll be adding to this thread until the Nobel Peace Prize nomination deadline on 31 January. The thread is simply a guide of possible elements to mention.

Nominations are made through an online form on the Norwegian Nobel Committee's website.

Lots of journalists are currently writing stories ahead of the court's decision on Monday about Julian's US extradition.

What backgrounders (articles or videos) about #Assangecase would you recommend they read?

#Assange
#FreeAssangeNOW
This is an excellent 'What's the big picture?' summary by @ggreenwald with @suigenerisjen and @Sulliview

This is also very informative with @bartongellman @rebecca_vincent @ewenmacaskill

Julian helped jail pedophiles in Australia in the 1990s. He also helped Icelandic police convict Sigurdur Thordarson on multiple counts of child abuse. One of Thordarson's child victims committed suicide. (Thread)

Thordarson went on his child abuse crime spree while working as an informant for the US government. At his trial, he was diagnosed as a psychopath by the court-appointed psychiatrist. He was also convicted of forgery and fraud against numerous businesses and @wikileaks.
After Thordarson was released from prison in Iceland, the US government flew him to Washington DC again, where he became the "star witness" against #Assange. The US government gets someone who will say and do anything. Thordarson takes revenge on the man who put him in prison.
