Wikileaks grundare Julian Assange eftersökt för våldtäkt i Sverige

Judge Holroyde ordered that the case now be sent back to Westminster Magistrates' Court with the direction that it be sent to Home Secretary Priti Patel for the final decision on whether to extradite Mr Assange.

Responding to the High Court’s decision to accept the US’s appeal against the decision not to extradite Julian Assange Amnesty International’s Europe Director Nils Muižnieks said:

“This is a travesty of justice. By allowing this appeal, the High Court has chosen to accept the deeply flawed diplomatic assurances given by the US that Assange would not be held in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison. The fact that the US has reserved the right to change its mind at any time means that these assurances are not worth the paper they are written on.

“If extradited to the US, Julian Assange could not only face trial on charges under the Espionage Act but also a real risk of serious human rights violations due to detention conditions that could amount to torture or other ill-treatment.
“The US government’s indictment poses a grave threat to press freedom both in the United States and abroad. If upheld, it would undermine the key role of journalists and publishers in scrutinizing governments and exposing their misdeeds would leave journalists everywhere looking over their shoulders.”

Har du förresten ingen moral angående att wikileaks röjt massor av information som kan avslöja oskyldiga personer som kan råka illa ut, torteras och dödas? Även detta ingår väl i åtalet.
