Assange extradition court ruling

Monday, 11 January 2021 12:38 AM [ Last Update: Monday, 11 January 2021 12:54 AM ]

A British Judge has ruled on whether Australian journalist Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States. The WikiLeaks founder is wanted on espionage and computer hacking charges and faces up to 175 years in prison.

Richard Medhurst attends the extradition hearing and explains why the judges decision to block extradition solely on health grounds still leaves press freedoms at risk and validates the politically charged indictment by the US.
