- Title
Purgatorial Torments: Assange and the UK High Court.
- Authors
Kampmark, Binoy
- Abstract
The article discusses the ongoing legal battle surrounding Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who is facing extradition to the United States. The UK High Court recently issued a decision that prolongs the case, allowing the US government the opportunity to make amends in seeking Assange's extradition. The article highlights the arguments made by Assange's defense team, including violations of the UK-U.S. Extradition Treaty, political motivations behind the prosecution, and concerns about fair trial rights. The High Court largely sided with the previous judge's decision, disregarding evidence of potential misconduct and threats to Assange's life. The article concludes by noting upcoming deadlines and the continued complexity of the case.
