WikiLeaks’ Kristinn Hrafnsson, Westminster Magistrates’ Court Assange Hearing 27.7.20

WikiLeaks’ Kristinn Hrafnsson: "What the US is doing is truly unprecedented. A new indictment is being introduced halfway into the extradition proceedings, which have been a year in the making. The 'new' superseding indictment actually contains nothing new".

KH "All the alleged events have been know to the prosecution for years. It contains no new charges. What’s really happening here is that despite its decade long head start the prosecution are still unable to build a coherent and credible case".

KH "So they've scrapped their previous two indictments and gone for a third try. They are wasting the courts time and flagrantly disregarding proper process".

The hearing began in February to resume in May, but were adjourned until September due to #Covid restrictions.
