The US has had years to clarify its intention to give Assange a fair trial but refuses to do so. The UK court's latest ruling is yet more collusion in his show trial
If one needed another reminder of how silly the phrase "free world " is then look upon the plight of Julian Assange, in the West we often hear this phrase to describe "our" sphere of the planet as if its the preserve of some higher moral code where all and sundry receives full measure of true justice, unlike those other parts of the world, wherein some shoddy form of "justice "is meted out, that is but a shadow, indeed an insult to that which we not only value but readily implement with equal measure to all who seek it. Alas, the truth is so very different to image we hold up, and Assange is the living proof of it.
Thank you Jonathan for this detour from your essential reporting on the plight of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Your words add greatly to those of Craig Murray who has been tirelessly keeping the story of Julian’s plight on the front burner. Blessings on you both!
Utterly disgraceful. His wife and children are suffering unnecessarily and he is being kept in a state of stress and tension that would have destroyed a lesser man. He is the living embodiment of everything that is wrong with our judicial system, the relationship between the power elites in Washington and London, and the moral cowardice of our so-called free press.

This case really upsets me when I let it, the tactics used just one of many examples of the psychological torture enacted by our criminal class against us - to crush the human spirit.
I can't imagine what Assange's family is going through.
The ruling asks the US not to 'deny Assange his basic free speech rights.' Since he is classified by the US as a spy under the Espionage Act, why would the UK ask the US to guarantee his free speech rights? So it seems the US is being asked to consider him as a journalist not a spy, which is contrary to what the US accuse him of being.
Of course none of this would be happening if the UK was not a cliente/subservient state. He’s a political prisoner in Super High security Belmarsh otherwise he’d be at home on bail whilst fighting his case. The snail’s pace of the process is the revenge the us requires (and enjoys) and a warning to others, if they eventually get hold of him that’s a bonus for them.
Agree completely with your take on this cruel Kafkaesque farce, one that shows utterly clearly that out-and-out sociopaths are in charge of both UK and US. The sooner each government is overgrown the better. How about yesterday?
Scary summary and prescient prediction of disappearing a revolutionary publisher for exposing the war crimes of the empire that’s turned into, like everything else, the crime of journalism.
The lies of the elites continue to be condoned or ignored by the general population. With voices like yours speaking out we are hopefully inching towards a favourable tipping point.
The US and Britain want to show anyone else who might reveal the things their governments do what will happen to them.
I've just read "Reasonable Cause to Suspect," by Sally Lane, the mother of Jack Letts. She is an ordinary middle-class woman who used to trust her government to behave with good faith. Not anymore.
Yes , and aren’t the parrelells so obvious in what is happening for a ceasefire too .

Outrageous treatment of a man who exposed the truth. Shameful lack of outrage from mainstream journalists.

Free poor Assange, he has suffered like no one else!

Stay strong Julian and Stella✊🏼
Brutish justice...as developed over the centuries against it's imperia£ untermenschen, comes home.
Kafka would recognise the beast.

Sociopaths, or as the ODC might say, white co££ar crimina£$...with Oxbridge and Ivy League training in the eKKKonomic management of truth.
As seen on the Bibi See.
