NEWS: Assange is still being held under an indictment that is null and void because the US issued a superseding indictment in June. Magistrate court judge acknowledges this abuse of process but doesn't seem to know what to do. https://twitter.com/jlpassarelli/status/1294221337163071488
Since June 24—nearly two months—Assange has apparently been detained by UK authorities at the behest of the US government improperly. What does that mean for his rights to due process under any recognized legal norms that still hold force over this extradition?
The court hasn't even proven it can manage and operate live conference audio that journalists can tune into via phone. How do they expect us to believe they can reliably operate a live stream, which is essential as COVID-19 persists? https://twitter.com/jlpassarelli/status/1294222987990794240
Having covered Chelsea Manning's court martial in a US military court, let me say this clearly: Julian Assange isn't even being granted the same minimal rights and the same standards of press access that Chelsea had. It's much, much worse.
