that’s devastating, on human rights day no less 🤦♀️
hopefully he’ll be able to appeal this decision
if he ends up being extradited this will be the biggest fuck you to journalism (and like basic human rights) worldwide by fascist pigs in the uk and the us, hopefully the british public will do something about it
This was already the appeal (of the US side though). There is a fake political “supreme court” that was only created to over-rule politically sensitive cases that in theory could still be appealed to, but that is basically wasted effort with the current UK government in place according to the sources I have.
Edit: the actual process seems to be that with this successful appeal of the US side, the lower court has to redo the case again now, which likely means a few more months/years of solitary confinement for Assange in a UK prison :(
My understanding is that the man is not a US citizen, and that he has never stepped foot on US soil. Considering those two facts, how can he be charged with espionage (at least within the US) at all? It was pretty clear from the beginning that the Swedish charges were horseshit and just fabricated to attempt to extradite him through a friendly government, and sure enough now that those have been thrown to the wayside they’re just trying a more direct approach.
Yup it’s all been done to kiss USA 's ass. I am Not a fan China-HongKong scene but this is no different.
That`s true.

Horrible. on #HumanRightsDay. the Empire is shameless.
A great defeat for freedom to publish and freedom of information worldwide…
on #HumanRightsDay
yeah, they’re not even hiding it, what is a disgrace
If Assange revealed the same crimes in China then he’d be getting a Nobel Prize right about now.
And this is the reason Assange is being tortured.
This will be bloody.
Impressive, I would say. It reveals the true murderous and inhuman fascist face of Anglosphere that grifts about human rights, democracy, journalistic integrity and press freedom.
There has also been clear evidence, for those not in the know, that Assange was drugged heavily during his time in UK jail. This was revealed via the phone call from his friend/family. His voice was beyond slurry.
