MAYDAY: Assange extradition decision tomorrow – get there if you can, watch live if not

Wikileaks founder faces court tomorrow to find out if UK will give in to disgraced US extradition case – supporters have asked for you to join them at the High Court if possible and will be streaming live from London

Julian Assange faces the High Court tomorrow in London to find out whether judges will agree a disgraced US request to extradite the Wikileaks founder to the US to face 175 years in maximum-security jail. The US case fell apart when its main witness admitted he had been lying the whole time, but the UK state has continued to hold and punish Assange pending extradition for revealing US war crimes, despite known US plots to kill him – plots that the court has already refused to admit as new evidence.

His campaign has asked anyone who can get there to gather tomorrow at the High Court by 8.30am and will also be running a live-stream of developments from 6.30am, which will run below as soon as it goes live:

Video will go live from 6.30am on Monday 20 May

Freedom for Assange is a moral imperative, but it is also essential for all our freedom, as governments try to increase suppression of information vital to democracy and justice and to make Assange an example to intimidate other journalists into silence.

    1. “We must drag the machinations of the powerful into the daylight for all to see… we must be unapologetic about that most basic need of humanity – the desire to know.”

      1. You would do well to mind your own business Billy. This has nothing to do with you as (allegedly) you do not live here.

  1. Dave – Apart from you, who is there that cares much one way or t’other what you think?

    1. You’re thinking emotionally rather than rationally again Billy.

      Its about the application of basic principles and values which people care about. Its not what I or anyone else who draws attention to those principles and values “thinks”.

      1. Dave – So you couldn’t think of anybody either. On reflection maybe I was a little harsh on you, I’d forgotten your devoted little acolyte ‘Toffee’

      2. Don’t need to think of anyone Billy. Simply because responses to the points made by myself and others making the same or similar points by everyone but yourself are entirely positive whereas hardly anyone, if at all, has a got a good word to say in response to the evidence free drivel you post.

        The evidence for that is all over this site going back years and speaks for itself.
