For years, the UK and Sweden stymied Freedom of Information requests to hide why prosecutors under Keir Starmer pursued the Wikileaks founder. Finally the game may be up
Whoever or whatever Julian Assange is, his treatment by the UK state was monstrous. Justice was neither done nor seen to be done. If the Russians had treated a foreign national in such an inhuman way we'd probably never have heard the end of it from british politicians and media.
"In 2008 Wikileaks published a cable from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to Washington, that Israel had designated Gaza as a “hostile entity.”
The cable said: “As part of their overall embargo plan against Gaza, Israeli officials have confirmed [to U.S. officials] on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy on the brink of collapse without quite pushing it over the edge.”
Thank you for shedding light on the real story behind Assange's persecution and incarceration. I had assumed it was solely the actions of the U.S. Government. This kind of criminal behavior runs deep and it's global. Assange's only chance for freedom in the end was to plead guilty, even though he was not guilty of anything. Exposing war crimes that the public needed to know about was an act of heroism, not a crime.
I grieved deeply during the year's in which Julian Assange suffered, his plight was horrific, especially when one remembers that it was a sentence passed upon an innocent man, a man who's "crime" was exposing the powerful and dark forces at work in our world. For those who fought to expose the lies and insidious behaviour that sought to incarcerate him and destroy his life ! In truth, I've nothing but the greatest respect for them.
Example after example - in practically all Western nations - of our 'leaders' ignoring and flouting the law, the whole of our 'leadership' exposed daily now as a farce, if not evil forces. Despite the horrors we can now see plainly, I'm glad it's being exposed.
How much longer will we bestow legitimacy upon these crooks?
So called Western Democracies are even worse than totalitarian countries or third world countries. The latter don't pretend being humanitarian and just.
It's no surprise that the government is destroying records that could incriminate them or lying to strengthen their case and ruin someone's life. I'm absolutely shocked by their actions I tell you, shocked! (sarcasm)
I think you've uncovered the key point: that people are not willing to look. Whether they are professionals;, journalists, academics or just Jo public most people are simply disinterested, not willing to accept that they may have been wrong or intentionally turn away. This is an ongoing problem and is the reason why all these abominations keep happening. If even 30% of the general public were willing to get off their asses and do something go out on the streets, riot, stand outside the BBC day and night or something! maybe things would slowly change but we'd have to keep at it all the time for years on end, but people just want to sit at home and eat

Safe to assume the Collateral Murder tape was only the tip of the iceberg.

I stopped giving them legitimacy decades ago.
I would put Tony Bliar, who many consider to be a war criminal (Iraq war) in the 'possibility' frame along with others

Starmer will slither out of it, just as Trump has evaded prison. The establishment protects its own.

Assange locked himself up in the Ecuadorian Embassy for a decade to avoid answering bail.
Is there no end to Starmer’s dubious dealings? - what an absolute cock….
Starmer is still in office, so there must be still more to find out ...
As ever, I will celebrate when something actually happens as opposed to "threatens".
