Just the facts…
- Julian Assange’s U.S. extradition hearing concluded in London, with a decision expected no earlier than next month.
- The hearing addressed U.S. efforts to extradite Assange for publishing classified military documents 14 years ago.
- U.S. lawyers argued the case is based on legal evidence, not political motives.
- Assange’s wife, Stella, called him a “political prisoner” and demanded his release.
- Judges stated they need time to decide, with a ruling anticipated by March at the earliest.
- This hearing could be Assange’s last chance to avoid extradition to the U.S., but he could still appeal to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary.
- U.S. government claims Assange endangered lives by aiding Chelsea Manning in leaking documents.
- There’s no proof WikiLeaks’ publications harmed anyone, and soliciting more information from sources is a common journalistic practice.
- The U.S. argues Assange compromised national security and encouraged illegal activities beyond journalistic practices.
- Assange’s lawyers countered that he’s being targeted for revealing U.S. government misconduct, including torture and killings.
- They warn of a “flagrant denial of justice” if Assange is extradited to the U.S.
