1/ .@amnesty denied access again today to the court in the #Assange extradition hearing. We've made 3 applications requesting recognition as expert fair trial monitors. Judge states that no "special provision" will be made for our trial monitor's attendance. 2/ International fair trial monitors:
• Evaluate the fairness of a trial/legal proceeding by providing an impartial record of what transpired.
• Advance internationally recognized fair trial standards by putting the the judge & parties on notice that they are under scrutiny.
