The Torture and Extradition of Julian Assange
Song For Today - A podcast by songnews
Categories:
Julian Assange is facing extradition to the US, where authorities want to imprison him for the rest of his life, using the highly political Espionage Act to prosecute him for basically being too good as an investigative journalist. He is responsible for having exposed not just one, but many, US war crimes. Today, the extradition proceedings were suspended until May. This song is a little musical introduction to the situation. The audio is taken from a video made in front of Belmarsh Prison in London, England last November.
