The ‘getting’ of Assange and the smearing of a revolution

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Saturday October 08, 2011 18:41author by John Pilger Report this post to the editors

Support Assange Don't Become Part Of THe Smear Campaign!

John Pilger writes about what Assange faces in the upcoming court case.

The High Court in London will soon to decide whether Julian Assange is to be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual misconduct. At the appeal hearing in July, Ben Emmerson QC, counsel for the defence, described the whole saga as "crazy". Sweden's chief prosecutor had dismissed the original arrest warrant, saying there was no case for Assange to answer. Both the women involved said they had consented to have sex. On the facts alleged, no crime would have been committed in Britain.

However, it is not the Swedish judicial system that presents a "grave danger" to Assange, say his lawyers, but a legal device known as a Temporary Surrender, under which he can be sent on from Sweden to the United States secretly and quickly. The founder and editor of WikiLeaks, who published the greatest leak of official documents in history, providing a unique insight into rapacious wars and the lies told by governments, is likely to find himself in a hell hole not dissimilar to the "torturous" dungeon that held Private Bradley Manning, the alleged whistleblower. Manning has not been tried, let alone convicted, yet on 21 April, President Barack Obama declared him guilty with a dismissive "He broke the law".

Interesting that the guardian poll voted Bradley Manning and Julian Assange as number 1 and 2 for the coveted nobel peace prize.

However instead it went to (no doubt worthy but not so well known) liberian female activists.

barrack obama
