English Language Broadcast - Julian Assange recognised as a political prisoner - 03/10/24
Manage episode 443316028 series 1778711
Back in June, Julian Assange was released from prison after 14 years of prosecution, and on Tuesday, he made his first public appearance before the Council of Europe. There, he spoke about his case and the effects on human rights and, in particular, media freedom.
The hearing was organised by the Assembly's Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, which recently expressed "deep concern" at Mr Assange's harsh treatment, and said that the charges brought against him by the United States authorities were "disproportionate", and the penalties constituted against him under the Espionage Act fall within the requirements included on the definition of a "political prisoner". On this broadcast, we analyze Julian Assange's case and his speech in the Council.
