Ruotsin syyttäjä: Julian Assangen raiskausepäilyjä koskeva tutkinta on lopetettu, syytteitä ei nosteta
Epäillyt raiskaukset tapahtuivat vuonna 2010.

Ruotsin syyttäjälaitoksen apulaisjohtaja Eva-Marie Persson kertoi tiistaina iltapäivällä, että Wikileaks-perustajaa Julian Assangea koskevien raiskausepäilyjen tutkinta on lopetettu.
Syytettä Assangea vastaan ei nosteta, koska epäillyille raiskauksille ei ollut syyttäjän mukaan tarpeeksi näyttöä.
...

Raiskaussyytteiden lisäksi Assange saattaa joutua vastaamaan syytteisiin myös Yhdysvalloissa, missä häntä syytetään salaisten asiakirjojen vuotamisesta julkisuuteen.
Assange kiistää kaikki häntä vastaan nostetut syytteet.

Poliittinen tutkinta alusta loppuun Ruotsissa. Sellainen oikeusvaltio.

Lainaukset siis tuosta Richard Medhurstin twiittiketjusta. Wokeisteja ja valtamediaa asia ei kiinnosta paskan vertaa, koska hehän ovat nykyisin valtamädän bestiksiä. Mutta eipä sitten kiinnostanut Trumpiakaan.

Today marks 2 years since Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. He's being held in a maximum security jail because the US wants to extradite him for publishing evidence of war crimes. This is an attack against journalists and press freedoms everywhere.

The same day a judge swiftly found Assange guilty of absconding bail, despite the fact he had been given political asylum by Ecuador, and sent him to Belmarsh aka Britain's Guantanamo Bay, typically reserved for Al Qaeda members, terrorists and other notorious criminals.

The judge gave him the maximum sentence of 50 weeks, which have long passed, yet Assange is still at Belmarsh, despite not being convicted of a crime nor serving a sentence. The same week of his arrest the US unsalted an indictment against him, requesting his extradition from UK.

It charges Assange- an Australian citizen outside the United States- under the Espionage act + 1 count of computer hacking. He potentially faces 175 years in jail. The indictment is a political witch-hunt that criminalizes journalism and seeks to make an example out of him.

Despite the judge ruling against extradition solely on health grounds (while agreeing with all the political charges), Assange is still in Belmarsh and is denied his family, visitors and even his winter clothes and heating. Even Al Qaeda figures have received better treatment.

It's astounding to me that a journalist who exposes war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan is sitting in jail while the monsters who started these wars like Tony Blair and George Bush are walking free. This is the "justice system" of the West. This is how much the press is valued.

I covered his entire extradition hearing which you can find here. It is truly scandalous. The UK and US are not democracies and the media have done a fantastic job keeping this out of headlines in order to cover up the gross injustices being committed.

Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment

A maj­or wit­n­ess in the United States' Depart­ment of Justice ca­se against Ju­li­an Assange has admitted to fabricat­ing key accusati­ons in the indict­ment against the Wiki­leaks found­er.

26. june 2021

A major witness in the United States' Department of Justice case against Julian Assange has admitted to fabricating key accusations in the indictment against the Wikileaks founder. The witness, who has a documented history with sociopathy and has received several convictions for sexual abuse of minors and wide-ranging financial fraud, made the admission in a newly published interview in Stundin where he also confessed to having continued his crime spree whilst working with the Department of Justice and FBI and receiving a promise of immunity from prosecution.

The man in question, Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, was recruited by US authorities to build a case against Assange after misleading them to believe he was previously a close associate of his. In fact he had volunteered on a limited basis to raise money for Wikileaks in 2010 but was found to have used that opportunity to embezzle more than $50,000 from the organization. Julian Assange was visiting Thordarson's home country of Iceland around this time due to his work with Icelandic media and members of parliament in preparing the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a press freedom project that produced a parliamentary resolution supporting whistleblowers and investigative journalism.

The United States is currently seeking Assange's extradition from the United Kingdom in order to try him for espionage relating to the release of leaked classified documents. If convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison. The indictment has sparked fears for press freedoms in the United States and beyond and prompted strong statements in support of Assange from Amnesty International, Reporters without borders, the editorial staff of the Washington Post and many others.

US officials presented an updated version of an indictment against him to a Magistrate court in London last summer. The veracity of the information contained therein is now directly contradicted by the main witness, whose testimony it is based on.

Mätää, mätää, mätää... Päätöshän tuli jo.

Lord Chief Justice Ian Burnett, the judge that will soon decide Julian Assange's fate, is a close personal friend of Sir Alan Duncan, who as foreign minister arranged Assange's eviction from the Ecuadorian embassy.

The two have known each other since their student days at Oxford in the 1970s, when Duncan called Burnett "the Judge". Burnett and his wife attended Duncan's birthday dinner at a members-only London club in 2017, when Burnett was a judge at the court of appeal.

Now the most powerful judge in England and Wales, Burnett will soon rule on Assange's extradition case. The founder of WikiLeaks faces life imprisonment in the US.

(...)

In an emailed response to Declassified, Lord Chief Justice Burnett confirmed he and Duncan have been "friends since university days".

(...)

Duncan served as foreign minister for Europe and the Americas from 2016-19. He was the key official in the UK government campaign to force Assange from the embassy.

As minister, Duncan did not hide his opposition to Julian Assange, calling him a "miserable little worm" in parliament in March 2018.

In his diaries, Duncan refers to the "supposed human rights of Julian Assange". He admits to arranging a Daily Mail hit piece on Assange that was published the day after the journalist's arrest in April 2019.

Duncan watched UK police pulling the WikiLeaks publisher from the Ecuadorian embassy via a live-feed in the Operations Room at the top of the Foreign Office.

He later admitted he was "trying to keep the smirk off [his] face", and hosted drinks at his parliamentary office for the team involved in the eviction.

Duncan then flew to Ecuador to meet President Lenín Moreno in order to "say thank you" for handing over Assange. Duncan reported he gave Moreno "a beautiful porcelain plate from the Buckingham Palace gift shop."

"Job done," he added.

Julian Assangen luovutus jenkkilään alkaa olemaan pistettä vaille valmis.

https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12501400?origin=rss

"Tietovuotaja Julian Assangella on vielä ensi viikko aikaa valittaa Britannian luovutuspäätöksestä. Australian johto kieltäytyy puuttumasta tapaukseen.

Assangen tukijat ovat osoittaneet mieltä hänen vapauttamisekseen. Syyskuussa Lontoossa ajoi kuorma-auto, jonka kyljessä olleessa julisteessa vastustettiin Assangen luovuttamista.

Wikileaks-perustaja Julian Assangella on ensi viikon perjantaihin asti aikaa valittaa Britannian päätöksestä luovuttaa hänet Yhdysvaltoihin.

Viime viikolla Britannian sisäministeri Priti Patel ilmoitti, että Assange voidaan luovuttaa Yhdysvaltoihin.

Assangea odottaa Yhdysvalloissa yhteensä 18 syytettä, jotka liittyvät Wikileaksin julkaisemiin salaisiksi luokiteltuihin asiakirjoihin. Yhdysvaltain syyttäjien mukaan tietovuoto vaaransi ihmishenkiä. Assangea voisi odottaa jopa 175 vuoden vankeustuomio.

Parhaillaan Assange istuu Belmarshin vankilassa.

Viime vuonna Britannia kieltäytyi Assangen luovutuksesta Yhdysvaltoihin. Tuomari perusteli päätöstä Assangen heikolla mielenterveyden tilalla ja itsemurhan riskillä.

Nyt Britannian sisäministeriö toteaa (siirryt toiseen palveluun), että Assangen luovutus ei riko hänen ihmisoikeuksiaan, ja että Yhdysvalloissa häntä "kohdellaan asianmukaisesti".

Australia ei puutu Assangen luovutukseen

Wikileaksin perustajan tukijoukot ilmoittivat, että tuoreesta päätöksestä valitetaan edelleen ylioikeuteen. Assangen puoliso Stella Assange vannoi taistelevansa kaikin mahdollisin lakikeinoin.

Assangen tukijoukot ovat vedonneet muun muassa Australian hallitukseen, joka kuitenkin kieltäytyy puuttumasta tapaukseen. Assange on Australian kansalainen."
---------

Faidros ei ota itse kantaa luovutuksen oikeellisuudesta lakiteknisesti tai moraalisesti.

[Skeptikko]

Assange vaikuttaisi nyt olemaan vapaa palaamaan Australiaan. Tosin saattaa olla mahdollista, että Ruotsissa kyhätyillä seksisyytöksillä tai sillä sekopäisellä YK:n hyväksymällä deittaussaittikusetuksella yritetään vielä vainota:

Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/julian-assange-reached-plea-deal-us-allowing-go-free-rcna158695

WASHINGTON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after having spent five years in a British prison, according to court documents.

Assange was charged by criminal information — which typically signifies a plea deal — with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the Northern Mariana Islands District said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m. local time Wednesday (7 p.m. ET Tuesday) to plead guilty and that the Justice Department expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.
...
Court documents revealing Assange's plea deal were filed Monday evening in U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean. Assange was expected to appear in that court and to be sentenced to 62 months, with credit for time served in British prison, meaning he would be free to return to Australia, where he was born.

Julian Assange may be on his way to freedom but this is not a clear victory for freedom of the press
https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jun/25/julian-assange-may-be-on-his-way-to-freedom-but-this-is-not-a-clear-victory-for-freedom-of-the-press

The Espionage Act will still hang over the heads of journalists reporting on national security issues, not just in the US
...
So although the WikiLeaks founder is expected to walk free from the US district court in Saipan after Wednesday's hearing, the Espionage Act will still hang over the heads of journalists reporting on national security issues, not just in the US. Assange himself is an Australian, not a US citizen.

US prosecutors argued that Assange was not a proper journalist, but a hacker and an activist with his own agenda, who endangered the lives of US sources and contacts, so the Espionage Act could be applied without harming press freedom.

But press and civil liberties advocates took the view that it was irrelevant how Assange was defined. The things he was accused of doing, "obtaining and disseminating classified information", are what national security journalists do for a living.

The revelations WikiLeaks published about the Iraq and Afghan wars in 2010, leaked to the organisation by an army intelligence analyst, Chelsea Manning, brought to light possible human rights abuses by the US military in those wars, among other things. They were published by the Guardian and other news organisations on the grounds there was a strong public interest in those secrets being brought to light.
...
US prosecutors under Biden chose however to pursue the Trump charges and fought to extradite Assange from the UK. They had the option of making a plea deal based on other charges, such as getting Assange to plead guilty to the misdemeanour of mishandling classified documents, the deal reportedly floated in March with the encouragement of the Australian government. Or they could have opted for a hacking conspiracy charge, which would not have had the same spillover implications for journalism.

By all accounts, Joe Biden did not even want Assange to be brought to the US. Assange's extradition to face trial would have been a damaging distraction for the struggling president in an election year, further alienating progressives and libertarians.

Biden said in April that he was considering an Australian request to drop the prosecution. But the justice department seems to have stuck to its guns and the prosecutors pressed ahead, only agreeing to a plea deal after Assange won the right last month to appeal against his extradition in the high court in London. Even then, the justice department stuck to its insistence on using Espionage Act charges.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Julian Assange lands in Australia a free man
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxee24pvl94o

Julian Assange has landed back home in his native Australia, after a plea deal allowed him to walk free from a London prison.

There were emotional scenes at Canberra Airport, as the Wikileaks founder kissed his wife and hugged his father, his lawyers watching on, visibly moved.

"Julian needs time to recover, to get used to freedom," Stella Assange said at a news conference shortly after her husband arrived.

For the past 14 years, Assange has been in a legal battle with US officials who accused him of leaking classified documents, which they say put lives in danger.

The 52-year-old did not attend the news conference in Canberra, instead letting his lawyer and wife speak for him.
"You have to understand what he's been through," Mrs Assange said, adding that they need time to "let our family be a family".

The couple married in London's Belmarsh prison in 2022, and have two children together.
The plea deal saw Julian Assange plead guilty to one charge of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information, rather than the 18 he was originally facing.

The case centred around a massive Wikileaks disclosure in 2010 when the website released a video from a US military helicopter which showed civilians being killed in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

It also published thousands of confidential documents suggesting that the US military had killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents during the war in Afghanistan.

The revelations became a huge story, prompting reaction from all corners of the globe, and led to intense scrutiny of American involvement in foreign conflicts.

Assange formally entered the charge on the remote Northern Mariana Islands, an American territory in the Pacific, two days after leaving Belmarsh prison.

In return, he was sentenced to time already served and released to fly home.
His lawyer, Jen Robinson, told media that the deal was "criminalisation of journalism" and set a "dangerous precedent".

Echoing this, Mrs Assange said she hopes the media "realise the danger of this US case against Julian, that criminalises, that has secured his conviction for newsgathering and publishing information that was true, that the public deserved to know".
