A judge has decided – on World Human Rights Day – to extradite Julian Assange to the US, despite the collapse of the American government’s case when its key witness admitted he had been lying all along – and the obvious dangers to Assange’s mental and physical health.
This country is a failed state masquerading as a democracy and no journalist is safe when the state can disregard an admission of lies to target an inconvenient voice.
A day of shame for this nation and a dark day for freedom of speech and information. Solidarity with Mr Assange and his family.
