These days I'm mostly tweeting to #FreeAssange. Animal tweeps, visit me @insighthound2.

From the 2020 closing submissions by the prosecutors in USA v. Assange, I learned of some rather shocking European jurisprudence which says that extradition, esp. of aliens, is a simple administrative matter and not covered by Art. 6(1) of the ECHR (right to fair proceedings). 🧵 But even worse is the way the US justified the potential denial of First Amendment rights to Assange by invoking that case law, cited in a Supreme Court judgment: "extradition is a case in point-only British nationals are allowed to rely upon Article 6. Foreign nationals are not"

#Iraq20YearsOn I was a freshman at Davidson College, NC, when, just a week before the war started, Dr James Zogby organized a videoconference between a group of Davidson students and students from Baghdad University. The Americans were divided about the war, the Iraqis weren't. Image They talked sanctions, the Kurds, WMDs. And freedom. "Don't you want to change at least some things around you?" asked the US kids. The Iraqis were reluctant to criticize the gov, but 1 girl said: of course we do, but it's hard to think abt that when you expect the bombs to drop.

In a new book written by Bulgarian investigative journalist Anna Zarkova, Assen Yordanov, founder of the website Bivol, describes how #JulianAssange selected him to work on the WikiLeaks documents about Bulgaria, Serbia and (North) Macedonia. Image While Yordanov humourously refers to the important role that a bottle of rakia played, he is adamant:

"Assange won't let you access the WikiLeaks database without first checking to make sure that you are a serious investigative journalist. He had studied my investigations..."

Nothing normal or fair about the proceedings against #JulianAssange.

His legally privileged material was taken by Ecuador/the US. Requests by lawyers were ignored. The UN Special Rapporteur on Privacy wasn't allowed to be present during the seizure.

tareqhaddad.com/wp-content/upl… In addition to that, "the one record of his entire archive has been taken." Assange can't reconstruct the precise history of events in 2010-11, e.g. relevant communications with the other people at WikiLeaks or with media partners.
