© Reuters/Henry NichollsJudge ruled Assange should not be extradited to the US, January 4, 2021.
Julian Assange will go down in history as a great and brave journalist, and I hope he finds the strength to continue his noble work.
But his persecution shames this country and those who went along with it.The global historic figure Julian Assange, the greatest journalist and publisher of our age, will not be extradited to the gulag of the American injustice system. Sing Hallelujah!
But as Wellington said after the Battle of Waterloo: "It was a damn close run thing."Hard pounding it has been. Most of all for the frail and gentle Mr. Assange, his partner and children, and his mother and father.
The Calvary of false allegations, house arrest in the Embassy of Ecuador (in truth a ground-floor flat), and the hell of Belmarsh Gaol, a maximum security, freezing cold and Covid-stricken concrete bunker. Abandon hope all ye who enter here, it may as well say above the entrance.
As it happens I have the most excellent relations with Britain's prison officers through long involvement with their trade union affairs, and I pressed throughout for the officers to treat Julian fairly during his detention.
I failed.Not because the guards wanted to treat him mean, but because the meanness came from on high. Britain has cavalierly burned much of its reputation in the case of Julian Assange.
Comment: In other words, the French people are living up to their reputation as the world's most vaccine-skeptical population, and practically no one from its population of 65 million wants the new franken-vaccines!
