Free Assange - Journalism is Not a Crime

On Monday 20 May 2024, Julian Assange attended the Royal Courts of Justice in central London to face a crucial appeal hearing against his extradition to the United States where he faces up to 175 years in prison for the crime of reporting the truth about US government crimes, particularly war crimes during Washington's so-called war on terror. The two judges did not appear to be convinced by United States assurances that Assange would be allowed First Amendment protections nor assurances that he would not face discrimination as a non-US citizen, and he was granted leave to appeal the extradition.

After the hearing Assange was taken back to Belmarsh prison in South East London, sometimes referred to as " "Britain's Guantanamo Bay." He has been held there since April 2019.
